Learn what is officially known about the Ace Combat 8 soundtrack, Lindsey Stirling's Hortus Regis Alti performance, Tasha Severskaya, and where to watch it.
Quick answer: Hortus Regis Alti is the official featured performance
The Ace Combat 8 soundtrack has an official spotlight track: Hortus Regis Alti, performed by Lindsey Stirling. Bandai Namco describes the title as Latin for “The Garden of the High King” and released the collaboration as an official performance tied to Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve.
The official announcement connects the performance to Tasha Severskaya, Joker Flight's third pilot. Watch the release through the official Steam news post or the ACE COMBAT official media channels rather than relying on reposted uploads.

Why the soundtrack matters to the story
Bandai Namco says music is part of Ace Combat 8's story world: it connects squadmates, supports national identity and purpose, and reflects people who sacrificed for a better future. That is why the official performance is framed as more than a promotional track.
Tasha is described by the publisher as Joker Flight's third pilot. In the performance, Lindsey Stirling appears in a Tasha-inspired costume while performing with a jeweled violin. The announcement presents the music as part of the same emotional and aerial identity as the campaign.
| Story element | Official framing |
|---|---|
| Music | A connection between comrades and a marker of identity |
| Tasha Severskaya | Joker Flight's third pilot |
| Performance | A collaboration that brings the game's world into a live-action music format |
| Flight imagery | The performance mirrors the motion of aircraft through the sky |

What is confirmed versus what is not
The official announcement confirms the featured performance and its connection to Tasha. It does not publish a complete in-game soundtrack track list, a streaming-album release date, or every composer credit. Avoid presenting fan playlists or unverified track names as an official OST.
