NAMCO BANDAI released today the first screens and info showing off the game's highly anticipated online battle mode. Whether playing with friends or against players from around the world, Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation offers up a robust online experience, whether taking part in Battle Royale or Team Battle modes, just two of the several online multi player modes that NAMCO BANDAI Games has so far unveiled.

It's every fighter for themselves in Battle Royale, which has pilots facing off in a free-for-all in the sky, all while trying to avoid deadly anti-aircraft fire that relentlessly fills the battlefield. Strategy takes on a whole new level in Team Battle, where pilots not only need to be proficient at dogfights, but also need to be able to coordinate the timing of attacks and defenses precisely as a group when faced with squadrons of opposing players.

Using voice-chat with teammates and building strategies prior to and during online battles are essential tools for winning, climbing the global leader boards, and a chance of attaining the highly coveted title of the number one Ace Combat player in the world.
