Unlock the iconic ADFX-02 Morgan–PIXY as playable aircraft and other exclusive rewards in Season One with the Premium Ace Pass in ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE.

The golden era of ACE COMBAT multiplayer has returned! The largest cross-play multiplayer mode ever included in the ACE COMBAT franchise has just been released for Early Access. Aces from around the world can now squad up across all platforms to take on PVP and PVE Co-Op missions. As they complete missions they’re unlocking new upgrades, cosmetics, and (thanks to the Premium Ace Pass) the ADFX-02 Morgan-PIXY aircraft!

A Legendary Return

As fans of ACE COMBAT ZERO: THE BELKAN WAR already know, the ADFX-02 Morgan is an experimental multirole aircraft flown by Larry Foulk (call sign: Pixy), a wingman of the protagonist. The aircraft was flown in a desperate attempt to change the geopolitical balance of the Belkan war. In ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE, the airframe has been modified to carry two types of special weapons at once, from a selection of three types, including high-output lasers giving it an extensive suite of tactical options on the battlefield.

Players who redeem the Premium Ace Pass or Premium Ace Pass Plus for Season 1 will unlock the following:

• ADFX-02-Morgan-PIXY
• Special skin collection for the ADFX-02-Morgan-PIXY

For those who have purchased the Premium Ace Pass Plus, you will also automatically unlock the first 30 out of 100 levels in the Ace Pass and the Premium Ace Pass track which includes all the normal and premium rewards for those levels at the time of redemption.

Rewards For Ranking Up, No Matter Which Track You Choose

In the “Premium Ace Pass” track, you can earn additional credits, blueprints, and supply tickets which can be exchanged for item packs at the Supply Shop. All of which can be used to unlock aircraft upgrades also available through in-game play.

You can also earn rare titles and cosmetic items—such as aircraft emblems and avatar costumes—that are exclusive to this location (Premium Ace Pass Track).

The Free Ace Pass also offers rewards including emblems, aircraft skins, and avatar customization pieces. You can gain blueprints and XP and Zoll contracts on the Free Ace Pass as well, but not every Free level will unlock a reward.

Both tracks require gaining XP by completing missions to unlock more levels and rewards. As always, the more you win in the sky, the more you’ll unlock in the lobby.

Reward Line-Up for the Free Ace Pass versus the Premium Ace Pass

In Season 1, players can earn the following items based on their chosen Ace Pass track:

Both tracks also include blueprints, boost tickets, and aircraft banners, among other items.

Every pilot who completes the entire 100 levels of their Free Ace Pass and Premium Ace Pass before the season ends will also unlock 500 Ace Coins in total. Each season will last two months, so start racking up those kill tallies and raising your mercenary pilot rank right away!
