Ace Combat 7 has been announced for the PS4. With that in mind, and the fact that it takes place just before AC3, we can almost safely assume that Ace Combat 8 or 9 will be in Ace Combat 3's time period. A remake of AC3 isn't needed, just a similar game taking place in the real world (AC3 was a simulation) with branching paths and some of the AC3 characters.
