But the console&#8217;s library will be adding one this summer as <em>Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown<\/em> is officially inbound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bandai Namco dropped a new trailer confirming the news today. The Switch port of the 2019 air combat sim looks solid in trailer form, but we&#8217;ll have to wait until its July 11 release date to see if it runs as well as its PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One counterparts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ACE COMBAT 7: Skies Unknown \u2014 Nintendo Switch Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TwSASVf-0eY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Switch iteration of <em>Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown <\/em>is the Deluxe Edition, which includes a trio of original aircraft sets, three additional single-player missions, two more real-world planes in the F-104C -Avril and the F-4E Phantom II, a music player mode, and added skins and emblems from prior entries in the <em>Ace Combat <\/em>series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Destructoid considered <em>Ace Combat 7<\/em> a return to form for the series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/reviews\/review-ace-combat-7-skies-unknown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in our January 2019 review<\/a>. It was lauded for its meticulous detail of real-world aircraft, ambitious \u201cairborne&nbsp;<em>Metal Gear<\/em>\u201c story, and a soundtrack that keeps your adrenaline pumping as you engage in epic aerial combat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four additional DLC packs are coming to Switch post-launch, all of which have already landed on the other consoles previously mentioned. They are the Original Aircraft Series Set, the Experimental Aircraft Series Set, the Cutting-edge Aircraft Series Set, and the <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> Aircraft Set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear whether these post-launch DLC sets will be included as part of the Deluxe Edition package or whether Bandai Namco will sell them as additional packages. But, guessing from the inclusion of the <em>Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>set, the content will likely be offered at a premium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll see how the Nintendo Switch version of <em>Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown <\/em>fares when it takes off on July 11. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time to take to the skies this summer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":898,"featured_media":450863,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","ub_ctt_via":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"[]","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[856,857,149,100],"internal-label":[24255],"invoiceable_action":[23725],"article_type":[23116],"coauthors":[{"id":898,"display_name":"Jeff Scott","user_nicename":"jeff-scott"}],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ace-Combat-7-Switch.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","author_info":{"display_name":"Jeff Scott","author_link":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/author\/jeff-scott\/"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ace-Combat-7-Switch.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450849"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/898"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450849"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450849\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":450912,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450849\/revisions\/450912"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450849"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=450849"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=450849"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=450849"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=450849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
