Namco has announced that the latest game in the Ace Combat series is set for a Fall 2004 release on the Playstation 2 console. The fifth installment of the long-running air combat series takes place in a fictional world on Sand Island. You are a young pilot sent in to help defend your nation of Osea. Here's what the press release says about the game:

With more than 50 different licensed planes and an intense storyline extending over 30 missions, players will be put to the ultimate test, including air-to-air combat, air-to-ground fighting, air-to-sea assaults, rescue, recon and much more. Incorporating ultra-realistic beautifully rendered in-game graphics and cinematics along with unparalleled game play, ACE COMBAT 5 goes a step beyond the traditional air combat gaming experience.

One of the exciting new features to the sequel includes Wingman Command, where players can issue directives to their wingmen mid-mission to carry out coordinated group attacks. Additionally, the in-game radio communications with the squadron and enemies adds to the realism and intensity of the dynamic battle sequences.
