Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War is a combat flight simulator developed by Project Aces and released in 2006 for PlayStation 2, serving as the sixth entry in the Ace Combat series. The game depicts the Belkan War, a conflict previously referenced in Ace Combat 5, placing the player in the role of a mercenary pilot known as Cipher. Missions span a range of aerial objectives, including escort, assault, and defense operations. The narrative unfolds through a framing device set a decade after the war, in which a journalist reconstructs the conflict's hidden history by interviewing surviving pilots that Cipher encountered in combat. This retrospective structure gives the story an investigative quality, gradually revealing the deeper consequences of the war through the perspectives of those who lived through it.
