Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is the newest iteration of the Ace Combat combat flight simulation series.

Setting

This is the second Ace Combat title (second only to Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault) to take place in the real world.

The teaser recently released by Project Aces in August 9, 2010 shows an large-scale invasion in the American city of Miami, Florida, alongside a military raid of a Middle-Eastern looking city (presumably Iraq/Afghanistan).

Gameplay

Footage shows a massive improvement of the standard AC physics engine, with a hostile Sukhoi fighter (presumed to be the Su-35BM due to it's splinter paintwork) performing the Cobra Maneuver to evade the player, alongside a revamped destruction engine, as shown by debris coming out of battle-damaged structures. Furthermore, the footage shows a helicopter raid in a Middle Eastern-like locations, with insurgents being killed by turret fire from said choppers, presumably indicating that the players will be able pilot/board helicopters, which is a major change in aircraft selection (like the inclusion of the World War II A6M Zero & F6F-5 Hellcat in Joint Assault).
