ACECRAFT: Sky Hero returns to the United States with new features, Pilot line-up, and patience rewards for players
SINGAPORE, 13 MAY 2026—ACECRAFT: Sky Hero is back in the United States! As of 10 May 2026, Skystone Games has officially resumed service for ACECRAFT: Sky Hero in the US region for iOS and Android, following a period of infrastructure maintenance, reopening the skies of Cloudia to players with a refreshed content roadmap, a new progression system, and a wave of pilots ready for deployment.
With the return, ACECRAFT: Sky Hero also introduces Pappos, a new system designed to support player progression, alongside a renewed line-up of pilots and events that will roll out in phases over the coming weeks.
Building the foundation for a better experience
Skystone Games is issuing a comprehensive patience rewards plan to support players in the United States. All players will receive daily downtime rewards including Recruit Tickets, Diamonds, Stamina, and key progression resources. With the introduction of the Pappo system, additional Pappo Fruits will also be granted, giving players an immediate head start.
Players with active passes will be fully supported. Permanent Privilege holders will receive daily rewards tied to their benefits, while users of Monthly Pass, Weekly Privilege Pass, Stamina Pass, and Navigator Pass will have all unclaimed rewards restored.
In addition, patience rewards packages, including Diamonds, Recruit Tickets, Premium Keys, and other high-value items, will be distributed to help players quickly rebuild momentum and re-engage with the game.
A fresh start with Pappo and Pilot progression
At the centre of ACECRAFT: Sky Hero's return is the Pappo system, a new feature that reshapes how players recruit and develop pilots.
Pappos are companion creatures that provide unique combat effects, supporting players during battles and influencing how encounters are approached. Unlike cosmetic systems, Pappos directly affect gameplay, allowing players to adapt to different enemy patterns and stages.
The system introduces new recruitment and progression mechanics, giving players more consistent ways to strengthen their roster through regular play. By tying rewards to adventure progression, Pappo creates immediate value for both new and returning players.
New Pilots arrive as recruitment reopens
ACECRAFT: Sky Hero's return also expands its pilot roster, giving players more flexibility in how they approach combat.
Recruitment reopens with multiple pilots, including Vivienne, a magic-based sharpshooter, Sylas, a control-focused pilot built for high-pressure encounters, and Leo, the once-superstar has joined the battlefield.
With all Wingmen available in Honk's Depot, players can fully customise their builds, making it easier to explore different strategies immediately after returning.
ACECRAFT: Sky Hero is now available on iOS and Android in the United States. Players can log in today to explore the Pappo system, recruit new pilots, and take flight in Cloudia once again.
