I feel like this is another dicussion that has gone around and around in circles so many times already. The pressence of Ace Combat  mainlinle  game  on any system outside the Sony ecosystem have been attempts at expanding thier fanbase. The results of that experiment are inconclusive at best, seemingly a failure since those gaems sold fairly similar to or worse than any other entry to the series. Can they try again? There's no reason why not. But at the same time there's no reason to think they will either, in addition to the complications and costs of the multi-platform route.

As for the basic question fo a new game, they've said they're in the preliminary stages, so that can mean anythign really. There are games that get all the way to beta testing and get pulled (think that was the case of the last Command and Conquer). We've run through all the landmark days this year for when they might make definitive announcements, every time an argument made for why the next date would be the one, which just means that those same landmark days are going to rolling back around soon, so you can drive yourself batty speculating on that end.
