Bandai Namco Entertainment and ILCA collaborated on the development of <em>Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown<\/em>, and the game proved to be a success by reaching over 3 million sales, the highest in the series. There has already been an announcement that a new <em>Ace Combat<\/em> is in the works, with the two companies coming together once again.
