This month barSILENCE is taking off into the high-tech futuristic world of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere!
Released in Japan in 1999 and internationally in 2000, this ambitious entry in Namco’s legendary flight-combat series pushed the PlayStation to its limits and had an awesome cyberpunk-infused narrative, stunning visuals, and one of the most experimental soundtracks in the series.
Composed by a powerhouse team including Tetsukazu Nakanishi, Hiroshi Okubo, Go Shiina, Koji Nakagawa, and Kanako Kakino, the music of Ace Combat 3 is a brilliant fusion of techno and electronica, mixed with an atmospheric ambiance that perfectly complements the game’s futuristic setting.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary, Namco released a fully remastered soundtrack in 2024, and we’ll be experiencing it in a techno futuristic playlist-style format.
Get ready to hack the Electrosphere and take to the skies for some serious Air Combat!
