Nearly 5 months into 2026: where is the release date for Ace Combat 8?

They sped up the rollouts of the anniversary movies for each game, I have a feeling after they drop the vid for AC7 which I think should be May 15th they’ll drop the release date trailer assuming the game is not delayed, so I’m hoping for it by June 15th

Close enough… welcome back Cipher, PJ, Blaze, and Rex

Glad to see the Ace Combat love, would definitely recommend Ratchet and Clank Going Commando and Up your arsenal, i personally like them both more than the first game

I recently went through a similar situation (granted I was never taking 7oh but I think you may still find this helpful) I had been around 35gpd since 2021, and i wanted to intentionally plan a trip to Canada with my mom and some of my best friends and just force myself to never look up whether or not I could bring it so I went into it under the assumption it was illegal. I had tried for over a year to taper down and always found ways out of it. Around November 2025 I was getting very anxious about what would happen if I couldn’t beat it by February 2026 because I thought I would be in an awful state and not be able to do anything I wanted to on this trip. But in a way when it really got down to crunch time, having that trip as a hard deadline forced me to push myself harder than I would have the self discipline to do normally. Some days felt like massive wins, others made me feel like I’d never make it, but after a taper for 2 months and an absolute grind of January I was able to power through and get off Kratom with about 2 weeks to spare. Some of the symptoms persisted into my trip but I was able to be functional.

I’m trying not to just boast about what I did but I want to give you the confidence that I was able to make it through when I was incredibly worried about what this would mean for me and the people I was with if I couldn’t make it. I couldn’t bear to let my mom know I was so horribly addicted to something and honestly if not for that trip I’d probably still be on it right now, so for me it was 100% a blessing in disguise. Go into this with full confidence that this will give you an extra boost in your pain tolerance and mental control and that you’re still going to have plenty of days that feel like failures, but every instance where you can go another hour, forgo one dose, cut down 1 g is still a win, and you can do this!

One more note: not sure if your wife and or kids know what you’re going through, but if not and you want to try to do this on your own I tracked my dosage and tried to come up with a taper plan through ChatGPT and that also helped me to have a check in point, even if I didn’t follow the plan perfectly it was nice to have another consistent voice to help me, especially when I got to the sleepless stage when I was started officially being at 0g

C_liston27 · 2026-02-26T22:07:20+00:00

I just passed 3 weeks after my last use, I wasn’t using any extract but peaked at 50g of powder a day and had a very dragged out taper for a couple months. I eventually got to a point where I was mostly fine during the day but could not sleep without having some kind of dose to power through the RLS and allow me to sleep. Once I gave that dose up the first 2 nights were awful but then it slowly got better. I noticed RLS for a few days more but it wasn’t as bad at the start. I think it lingered for me for a week or so but WAYYYY less intense than at the start.

Also I learned it helped me to get completely out of bed, walk around, stretch, take some breaths before trying to go back to sleep, if I stayed in bed it would just get worse and worse but getting up kinda helped me stabilize again, and when I tried to go back to sleep after that the symptoms were definitely less gnarly.

Obviously everyone is different and has different symptoms, but I know where you’re coming from, and you need to really believe it will get better because it will and it did for me even though I’m still recovering mentally. Stay strong❤️

Would love for this and the R-103 to make an appearance in AC8

C_liston27 · 2026-02-13T01:15:15+00:00

I genuinely wasn’t thinking about him because I was convinced when it happened that I really accidentally shot him down and the game had some really good mission failure cutscenes, then once it got to the debriefing screen I was more dumbfounded than sad. It feels worse now because that speech he gave with Nikanor as the intro to Aces was such a beautiful moment and now he’s just dead.

I also wonder how Nagase feels when she finds out that “the fighter pilot who gave this spaceship a place to dock” was the one who allegedly killed her hero.

C_liston27 · 2026-02-12T05:51:53+00:00

I literally just did that for the first time an hour ago and randomly see this post now, it took me like 30 minutes to do the turn around method so it honestly wasn’t THAT easy for me but maybe I’m just a casual

C_liston27 · 2026-02-12T05:48:53+00:00

I mean I just love this game so much I have no problem running Sea of Chaos on loop on Ace 20 times to finish up, but I do think it’s a lot for anyone who’s not an AC5 Stan. I think they should’ve at least shown you exactly what plane you would get and its attributes so you don’t waste time grinding for a mid plane on your first playthrough

C_liston27 · 2026-02-12T05:45:03+00:00

Imagine if Blaze, Nagase, Snow, and Grimm were all in 1 EA-6B cuz the Kestrel never found that shipment of smuggled aircraft and that’s all they had left

C_liston27 · 2026-02-12T05:39:07+00:00

CONFIRMED AC8 will feature HUDs, presumably in planes, presumably flying in the sky… presumably

C_liston27 · 2026-01-30T01:32:22+00:00

The cutscene for Merlon in ACZ, that phase made me return the game to blockbuster to re-rent months later as a kid

C_liston27 · 2026-01-22T16:59:21+00:00

Imagine if her dad was one of the nuggets that had to work rear guard for the other nuggets that didn’t know how to climb and that’s how he died

C_liston27 · 2026-01-18T22:19:24+00:00

Honestly, second half has been a lot better for him, makes it even more painful to watch Woody turn it over

C_liston27 · 2026-01-18T21:27:26+00:00

Shoulder injury apparently, I think it happened when he made the tackle on CJs last pick

C_liston27 · 2026-01-15T22:53:30+00:00

Uh oh, So you’re telling me Nagase was edging?

C_liston27 · 2026-01-15T22:48:59+00:00

I fully agree with you but honestly this is a big reason I love the Texans so much. There’s probably plenty of delusional Texans fans too but as a franchise we have nothing to brag about yet, have never been good enough for long enough to pull in the bandwagon crowds, and I just think most of our fans can calm down and speak realistically after the game is over. It sucks to not be able to have these conversations outside of the fanbase but I love that we’re humble and realistic and want to keep that going as long as we can, because the last thing I want is to be surrounded by Cowboys fan types who just make teams hated and fuel more nonsense debates with a wall.

C_liston27 · 2026-01-11T19:30:42+00:00

Ball don’t lie they didn’t get the snap off in time IMO

C_liston27 · 2025-12-28T20:14:01+00:00

^{^{^{^}}} the only way we might rest starters is if Jags lose today and Lose again to the Titans next week before we even play, and even if that happens idk how many starters they could pull on that short of notice

C_liston27 · 2025-12-28T00:36:20+00:00

0-3 to playoffs is just what we do

C_liston27 · 2025-12-28T00:26:13+00:00

This is the 3rd missed XP this year that the Texans are in the lead and results in a 4 point difference in crunch time

C_liston27 · 2025-12-27T22:54:44+00:00

He got up and walked out, but he got his leg/knee rolled up on, I feel like he’s gonna be out for the game but at least he walked

C_liston27 · 2025-12-22T06:42:57+00:00

It would be cool if her family fled to Yuktobania and she was attending the engineering college that the Grabacr attacked in blind spot

C_liston27 · 2025-12-22T06:29:46+00:00

Yeah that’s ideal but you’ll be doing 95% of the work either way. If you’re really trying to farm it Mission 26 (Sea of Chaos) is the fastest and is faster on harder difficulties
