Delisting
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon was first delisted from Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in late January 2017. A post on the r/acecombat subreddit revealed that the announcement was made on the official Japanese Ace Combat homepage days ahead of the delistings, stating that “this will be effective as of this week’s PlayStation Store and Xbox LIVE updates”. Ace Combat: Assault Horizon was not removed from Steam until December 14th, 2018.
As with most Ace Combat titles, this delisting was most likely due to expired licensing from the many aircraft manufacturers featured in the game.

- Steel carnage destruction – Incredible detail and visual reaction for every explosive attack (aircrafts are shredded to pieces, enemy troops annihilated, buildings shattered, machines bleed)
- Entirely new aircrafts to pilot – Experience split-second maneuvering and positioning, pinpoint targeting, hovering attacks and over gameplay diversity through the introduction of the Attack Helicopter, Door Gunner, Bomber and more
- Revolutionary Close-Range Assault system – Delivering high-speed acrobatics, dizzying one-on-one encounters, satisfying visceral low altitude and high-flying death from above
