Alas, Ace Combat 8 Will Feature Denuvo Protection
The PC version of Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve will likely use Denuvo protection. This is indicated by data found in the SteamDB service database.
Furthermore, the files mention Ace Combat Zero, a 2006 game that was released exclusively for PlayStation 2. This could suggest that the eighth installment will include a port or a remaster of the classic title.
