Last week we had posted about the rumors that Ace Combat 6 could come to the Xbox 360. Now Namco Bandai Games has officially announced the game, which is named as Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation for Microsoft’s next-gen console.
About Ace Combat 6 – Fires of Liberation:
- Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation takes air combat warfare to new heights as it swanks the new “Dynamic Operation System” where massive battles unfold on a “living battlefield,” as up to six independent land, sea or air conflicts can break out at any time at multiple locations as allies and enemies clash in real-time. Gamers can experience the realism of war when battlefields come alive with engagingly real audio and visual effects: thundering explosions, dense vapor trails of air-to-air missiles, piercing machine gun fire, booming anti-aircraft artillery fire, mid-air explosions, gigantic columns of black smoke and more.
- Gamers can prove their superiority on a global scale as they pilot highly detailed, authentic aircraft such as the F-15 E Strike Eagle and the F-22 Raptor online via Xbox Live. For an all out worldwide battle for the sky, players can choose from a variety of different online modes including the death match and team death match style game modes. Alternatively, they can team up with friends to play in co-op, where players combine strategy and skill to work together to take on computer-controlled adversaries. Online rankings are calculated globally with high-ranking players being granted honorable titles on a global scale, adding fuel to the fires of furious competition.
Namco Bandai Games has also released some exclusive content from Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, which is available for download via the Xbox Live Marketplace. The game will release in North America in late 2007, but Namco Bandai did not mention anything regarding the European release. However, the game will stand out as it will have a robust multiplayer and will also take good advantage of the Xbox Live service.
