Bandai Namco releases Ace Combat 8: Wings of the Veve update

Bandai Namco Entertainment has released update Ver. 1.01.002 for the dramatic flight shooting game ‘Ace Combat 8: Wings of the Veve’ on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).

The update addresses several critical issues in the ‘Campaign’ mode, including mission-breaking bugs where players could become stuck after aircraft landings, specific explosions, or target destruction. Notable gameplay adjustments include difficulty tuning for the ‘Radon’ enemy in Mission 15 (Elite difficulty or higher) and an adjustment to the flare limit for ‘Shadow 22’ in Mission 28.

In the ‘Ace Combat Online’ mode, the update shortens the activation duration of special armaments, specifically ECM, ESM, and IEWS. It also resolves technical issues such as screen transition errors after account creation and controller disconnection problems on Steam. Bandai Namco stated that they are prioritizing improvements to the user interface and menus based on player feedback for future updates.
