ACE COMBAT 8 preorder bonus

The announced digital preorder offer includes the playable F-14A and ACE COMBAT ZERO: THE BELKAN WAR. ACE COMBAT ZERO is delivered as a separate application, not an in-game campaign chapter.

What is included?

Playable Aircraft: F-14A for ACE COMBAT 8.
ACE COMBAT ZERO: THE BELKAN WAR (Steam Version) as a standalone application on Steam.

Both Standard and Deluxe official listings show the preorder offer. The offer is tied to preorder eligibility, not automatically to every purchase after launch.

Important details

The Steam notice says ACE COMBAT ZERO supports Japanese, English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish, so its language list is not identical to ACE COMBAT 8's 13-language listing. Bandai Namco also notes that bonuses other than ACE COMBAT ZERO may later be offered separately.

Before you buy

Open the exact platform store listing.
Confirm that its checkout page still labels the purchase as a preorder.
Verify that both the F-14A and ACE COMBAT ZERO are shown for your region.
Save the receipt in case entitlement delivery needs support.

Do not confuse the preorder offer with Deluxe content. The Premium Ace Pass Plus voucher, cosmetics, and early access belong to Deluxe; the F-14A and ACE COMBAT ZERO are the announced preorder items.
