Not being able to meet those expectations was really disheartening. I’m sure the fans wanted to get together in person for it, too.

It was hard to put together events that would draw in people last year, and we weren’t going to be able to put on the show we wanted to. Kono: The delays were the result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Can you tell us about how these anniversary event delays came to be? In late April 2021, the ACE COMBAT series announced on its official Twitter channel that 25th Anniversary celebrations would be kicking off yet again.
