Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is the fifteenth main installment of the Ace Combat franchise. The game returns to the "Strangereal" universe, and is set in the midst of conflict between the Kingdom of Eurusia and the Osean Federation. The player experiences the air war through an Osean pilot, callsign "Trigger," while the cutscenes explore the war as seen through the eyes of other characters. The game was released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 18, 2019, and on Microsoft Windows on February 1, 2019. The game includes multiplayer battles, and a VR mode is exclusive to PlayStation VR where players can reprise the role of Mobius One (the protagonist of Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies) during the 2014 Free Erusea uprising.
