Namco announced Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere in August 1998.[9] The company remained quiet about the game, making minimal comments during that year's Tokyo Game Show. The company broke the silence in November, opening up a website and showing conceptual artwork to video game publications.[9] Only a single level and a select few aircraft were revealed. Namco announced it was slated for a release in the first half of 1999 in Japan.[9] A small sample of video footage from the game was presented in a bonus disc shipped out with the Japanese release of Ridge Racer Type 4.[10] Famitsu reported that the game was roughly 80% complete by January 1999.[11] After months of secrecy, Namco demonstrated Electrosphere at the 1999 Tokyo Game Show, presented alongside World Stadium 3, Dragon Valor, and the Dreamcast conversion of Soulcalibur, taking up most of the Namco's booth.[12] Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere was published on May 27, 1999 in Japan by Namco Inc..[5] Its size forced it to be split across two discs, each containing 26 missions for a total of 52 different missions.[2] Alongside a 26-page instruction manual, it contained a 30-page promotional booklet called the Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere - Portfolio Photosphere, which details the game's characters, aircraft, storyline, and other information regarding its fictional world.[13] On December 7, 2000, it was re-released in Japan under the PlayStation the Best line of budget titles.[5]

For the North American release, Namco Hometek Inc. removed all characters and considerably altered the original story-line, keeping only the inter-corporate conflict intact. Electrosphere was released in Europe on January 21, 2000,[14] and in North America on March 3.[15]
