Bandai Namco released the Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch on July 11, 2024. The modern flight shooting game has thus become available to play on Nintendo’s latest console to date in both docked and portable modes.
The Nintendo Switch release comes included with content that prior platform releases used to have as Season Pass or pre-order bonuses, such as the Music Player mode. Players can also access the three additional missions featuring the gigantic submarine Alicorn and five extra aircraft: ADF-01 FALKEN, ADFX-01 Morgan, ADF-11F Raven, F-4E Phantom II, and Avril’s F-4E Phantom II.
The remaining DLC aircraft sets that add units like FB-22 Strike Raptor and MiG-35D Super Fulcrum are also available for the Switch version. However, Bandai Namco put them separately on the Nintendo eShop so players will have to make additional purchases to add them. This includes the collaboration pack from the Top Gun: Maverick movie.
Bandai Namco has also uploaded a new Japanese launch trailer to mark the release of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch on the game series’ YouTube channel:
Ace Combat 7 originally came out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in January 2019, with the PC version following shortly after in February 2019. The game set a new sales record with over 5 million units sold as of November 2023. Bandai Namco first revealed the Nintendo Switch port right around the time it celebrates the game’s fifth anniversary in January 2024.
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is now available on Nintendo Switch in addition to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Bandai Namco is working on the next entry as it prepares for the series’ 30th anniversary in 2025.
