In addition, it featured more hallmarks of the ''Ace Combat'' series with its first fictional aircraft designs (namely the [[ADF-01 FALKEN]] and [[XFA-27]]) and [[Aces|hidden named pilots]]. ''2'' also featured a deeper story than ''Ace Combat'', formally introducing us to the [[Usea]]n continent for the first time, but it remained relatively basic.

While ''Ace Combat 2'' featured branching paths with different gameplay outcomes, ''Electrosphere'' was the first game in the series to have story implications depending on the player's gameplay and choices (ironic given that the player character was faceless and mute, which would become a hallmark of the series). The game also featured numerous fictional aircraft (many of which were based on real-life designs). Unfortunately, Namco could not obtain funding for internationally localizing ''Electrosphere'' due to its massive amount of dialogue; consequently, the international releases in 2000 featured a different story with no dialogue and a strictly linear path. |

In addition, ''Shattered Skies'' retained the mute, faceless player character while adding more dialogue surrounding the player on both the friendly and enemy sides. For this reason, [[Mobius 1]] is considered by many to be the trademark player character of the series. ''Shattered Skies'' also featured an orchestral soundtrack for the first time. [[Megalith -Agnus Dei-]], the theme of the final mission (in which both the mission and the song are based off of Christianity, also a first for the series), is likely the most popular ''Ace Combat'' song of all time. ''Shattered Skies'' is the most successful game in the series; it sold over 2.6 million copies{{refcall|1MilAces}} with remarkable review scores. |

''The Unsung War'' had the most involved story up to this point aside from ''Electrosphere'', with a full cast of characters on all sides of the depicted conflict. The story's anti-war premise was hugely popular among critics due to how rarely such a premise is carried out in similar war games. The tale of the [[Razgriz]] was also an important part of ''The Unsung War'', and the story of this demon would become known by many fans and non-fans alike. |

Many fans consider ''The Belkan War'' as an important entry with its character development of [[Cipher]], which depends on the player's actions throughout the game, as well as its unique soundtrack that occasionally implements flamenco guitars. ''The Belkan War'' was one of the worst-selling console games in the series, failing to reach 800,000 copies sold.{{refcall|1MilAces}} Regardless, it was acclaimed by fans and remains popular with the rest of the "Holy Trilogy" of PlayStation 2 ''Ace Combat'' games. |

There are currently 16 games released in the Ace Combat series. Over half of the games are exclusive to PlayStation devices, though other games have been featured on other devices such as the Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, and Windows PCs. As of December 9, 2015, the Ace Combat games have sold approximately 14,000,000 units across all games and regions.[1]
Description
History
Precursor
In 1988, Namco released the Namco System 21, the very first arcade board specifically designed for processing 3D polygons. It evolved significantly throughout its five-year lifespan, during which the flight game Air Combat was released. It was one of the first arcade flight games of its kind on such hardware. In 1993, the successive Namco System 22 was released, featuring many graphical improvements over the System 21. Air Combat 22, a direct sequel to Air Combat, was released on the System 22 in 1995.
PlayStation
On June 30, 1995, Ace Combat released in Japan on the new PlayStation console. Unlike its arcade counterparts, the PlayStation game featured a full rock-and-roll soundtrack, a basic campaign mode, wingman support, and many more aircraft available to the player. It also featured unique tunnel flight and canyon flight missions, as well as a fight with an aerial warship. This is considered to be the start of the series.
Three months later, the PlayStation was released in North America and Europe. Ace Combat (localized in these regions as Air Combat) was localized soon after. Internationally, it received mixed to positive critical reviews, praising its gameplay and soundtrack but looking for more from the graphical power of the PlayStation. Ace Combat sold over 2.2 million copies,[2] and received the "Best Flight Sim of 1995" reward from Electronic Gamer Monthly.
In 1997, Ace Combat 2 was released internationally. Compared to its prequel, Ace Combat 2 had major improvements on graphical fidelity and gameplay. In addition, it featured more hallmarks of the Ace Combat series with its first fictional aircraft designs (namely the ADF-01 FALKEN and XFA-27) and hidden named pilots. 2 also featured a deeper story than Ace Combat, formally introducing us to the Usean continent for the first time, but it remained relatively basic. The game sold over a million copies internationally,[2] and was very well-received critically.
The series' famous story-telling took root in the release of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere in 1999. While Ace Combat 2 featured branching paths with different gameplay outcomes, Electrosphere was the first game in the series to have story implications depending on the player's gameplay and choices (ironic given that the player character was faceless and mute, which would become a hallmark of the series). The game also featured numerous fictional aircraft (many of which were based on real-life designs). Unfortunately, Namco could not obtain funding for internationally localizing Electrosphere due to its massive amount of dialogue; consequently, the international releases in 2000 featured a different story with no dialogue and a strictly linear path.
Holy Trilogy
Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, released in 2001 on the PlayStation 2 (as Ace Combat: Distant Thunder in Europe), is considered by many to be the true beginning of the Ace Combat series. It was the first game to establish the history of the Ulysses 1994XF04 asteroid, the fictional countries in Usea (including Erusea and North Point), and massive superweapons (Stonehenge). In addition, Shattered Skies retained the mute, faceless player character while adding more dialogue surrounding the player on both the friendly and enemy sides. For this reason, Mobius 1 is considered by many to be the trademark player character of the series. Shattered Skies also featured an orchestral soundtrack for the first time. Megalith -Agnus Dei-, the theme of the final mission (in which both the mission and the song are based off of Christianity, also a first for the series), is likely the most popular Ace Combat song of all time. Shattered Skies is the most successful game in the series; it sold over 2.6 million copies[2] with remarkable review scores.
2004's Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (Ace Combat: Squadron Leader in Europe) was the first time the series departed from the Usean continent and introduced a whole alternate planet to the players. Due to Ace Combat 04 media, this world was forever known as Strangereal. The Unsung War had the most involved story up to this point aside from Electrosphere, with a full cast of characters on all sides of the depicted conflict. The story's anti-war premise was hugely popular among critics due to how rarely such a premise is carried out in similar war games. The tale of the Razgriz was also an important part of The Unsung War, and the story of this demon would become known by many fans and non-fans alike.
Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, released in 2006, carried a similar anti-war theme from The Unsung War, but in a much more pessimistic nature. Its main characters were either disillusioned with the idea of peace or naive about it . Many fans consider The Belkan War as an important entry with its character development of Cipher, which depends on the player's actions throughout the game, as well as its unique soundtrack that occasionally implements flamenco guitars. The Belkan War was one of the worst-selling console games in the series, failing to reach 800,000 copies sold.[2] Regardless, it was acclaimed by fans and remains popular with the rest of the "Holy Trilogy" of PlayStation 2 Ace Combat games.

A year before the release of The Belkan War, Ace Combat Advance was published exclusively in North America, featuring a prequel story to Electrosphere. However, its gameplay and story were lackluster compared to the rest of the series, and the game was not publicized enough to make an impact; it sold a measly 100,000 copies.[2]
Bandai Namco attempted once more to enter the mobile market, and released Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception in 2006. They heavily utilized the PlayStation Portable's similarity in PS2 functionality, and they continued to flesh out the world of Strangereal by visiting another part of the planet. X was acutely successful, selling nearly half a million copies.[2] A prequel game would be released on iOS, Ace Combat Xi: Skies of Incursion, but it wasn't as popular and it was removed from the App Store in 2015.
Another mobile game, Ace Combat: Joint Assault (Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault in Japan) was released in 2010. Joint Assault used the same gameplay engine as Skies of Deception with some minor changes, but it was notable for its story, the first in the Ace Combat series to take place in the real world. However, it retained Strangereal's audacity in storytelling, with numerous aerial warships and advanced weapons against the player. It was also the first game in the series to use CGI animation for its story cutscenes.
In 2011, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy (Ace Combat 3D: Cross Rumble in Japan) was released. Legacy, despite its name, was actually a remake of Ace Combat 2, fleshing out the story and adding a lot more content to the original game such as ace squadron battles akin to those from The Belkan War. Being the only Nintendo 3DS game in the series, Legacy exists as an outlier since most fans expected future portable games to be released on the PSP or PS Vita. Nevertheless, it was successful enough to warrant a re-release in 2015 featuring support for the New 3DS as well as amiibos.

Ace Combat: Northern Wings is, as of the 20th anniversary, the last mobile game to be released (besides Legacy's re-release). However, it was very unknown due to being a game for Java phones, and its story was very unpopular since it directly clashed with previous games.
Multi-Platform
The first Ace Combat game on the 5th console generation was Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, which released on the Xbox 360 rather than the expected PlayStation 3. Fires of Liberation utilized a more advanced graphics system than previous games did, allowing for massive battlefields and intense visual effects. Its story campaign is markedly lackluster compared to other games in the series, but Fires of Liberation's graphics and gameplay are praised to this day. However, it only sold 700,000 copies, the worst of any console game in the series.[2]
The series' first release on PlayStation 3, and its first and only multi-platform release, arrived with Ace Combat: Assault Horizon in 2011. Assault Horizon became one of the most controversial games in the series; it implemented a new gameplay mechanic named Close Range Assault, and it utilized a more realistic story than those in previous games. It was critically well-received, but fan reception was mixed. In 2012, Assault Horizon was ported to PC, becoming the first and only Ace Combat game available on that platform.

In 2013, a massive teaser campaign was launched to slowly announce Ace Combat Infinity, the series' first free-to-play game which released in 2014. Infinity features another unique alternate history of our Earth, except it uses elements from past Ace Combat games such as Ulysses and Stonehenge. Infinity doesn't have a large story campaign, but its Online Co-Op multiplayer continues to remain popular among its players. Infinity has been downloaded over 3,000,000 times, making it the most-played Ace Combat game in the series.[3]
In December 2015, Ace Combat 7 was formally announced to the public. It will be the first game to release on the 6th console generation, namely the PlayStation 4, and it will also feature virtual reality integration. Further details on 7, including the release date, are still unknown.
