News Thrustmaster announces limited edition flight stick for Ace Combat 7

After suffering several delays, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown finally has a release date, as Bandai Namco recently confirmed the upcoming flight sim will be landing on PS4 and Xbox One on January 18, 2019, and PC on February 1st. For extra immersion, the PS4 version will also be compatible with the PlayStation VR headset. To get the best experience, you’ll want to play Ace Combat 7 with a flight stick.

Luckily, Thrustmaster has announced a new limited edition Ace Combat 7 version of its acclaimed T.Flight Hotas flight stick, which made its first public appearance at Gamescom this week. Two versions of the limited edition flight stick will be available based on the T.Flight Hotas 4 and T.Flight Hotas One.

Thrustmaster says its close collaboration with the developers of Ace Combat has allowed for full integration of the joystick, making the game more precise and fun to play. It’s also compatible with all previous games that supported the T.Flight Hotas 4 and T.Flight Hotas One. No pricing or a release date has been announced yet, but it would make sense for it to coincide with the launch of Ace Combat 7 next year.

Flight sim fanatics can also order the recently announced Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals for PC.

Here’s the official features list for the T. Flight Hotas 4 Ace Combat 7 Limited Edition and T. Flight Hotas One Ace Combat 7 Limited Edition provided by Thrustmaster:
