Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown[a] is a 2019 combat flight simulation game by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The first new entry in the Ace Combat series since 2014's Ace Combat Infinity, the game was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in January 2019, and for Windows in February 2019. A Nintendo Switch port was released in July 2024.
Ace Combat 7's plot marks the series' return to its traditional setting of Strangereal, and follows the exploits of "Trigger", a fighter pilot who is assigned to a penal squadron following an accusation of murder, in the midst of a war between the countries of Osea and Erusea. The game features support for virtual reality, offering a set of missions developed for the PlayStation VR headset, as well as several downloadable content packs offering new missions and content. It is the first game in the Ace Combat franchise to be built on Unreal Engine 4.
Ace Combat 7 received generally positive reviews from critics and became the highest-selling entry in the series, with over six million units sold across all platforms by January 2025.
