ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE is Project Aces' arcade flight combat game from Bandai Namco, out since October 1, 2026: fast dogfights under dynamic multi-layered skies, a story campaign about an elite squadron, and online co-op and PvP with cross-platform multiplayer. AnySquad's LFG posts help Ace Combat 8 players find wingmen for co-op missions and opponents for dogfights.
Ace Combat 8's online modes are only as good as the pilots in the sky with you. A wingman who covers your six in co-op, or a group of rivals who agree on rules and aircraft for PvP, turns quick-match roulette into the dogfights you remember.

A duo is the easiest way to play ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE with someone better than a random fill — one person you can actually talk to. For a full squad, post the slots you still need: a post that says what it is missing gets answered faster than a profile that lists what you play.
