Armored Core VI launches in August

Bandai Namco and From Software have released a first look at gameplay from Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon alongside the announcement the game will launch on 25 August 2023. Developed by From Software, Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon is “full of mech action, including fast-paced battles, in-depth customization, and thrilling boss fights.”

Per Bandai Namco, the story of Armored Core VI is as follows; “A mysterious new substance called “Coral” was discovered on the remote planet, Rubicon 3. As an energy source, this substance was expected to dramatically advance humanity’s technological and communications capabilities. Instead, it caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and the surrounding stars in flames and storms, forming a Burning Star System.

“Almost half a century later, Coral has resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and sealed off by the catastrophe. Extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight over control of the substance. The player infiltrates Rubicon as an independent mercenary and finds themselves in a struggle over the substance with the corporations and other factions.”

Armored Core VI was announced at The Game Awards in December 2022 and is the first game in the series since Verdict Day in 2013. Directed by Masaru Yamamura, Lead Designer on Sekiro, Armored Core VI promises to “put players in fast-paced battles, where they can make full use of offensive and defensive maneuvers on both land and in the air to overcome foes. To be the most successful and profitable mercenary on Rubicon 3, players must master rapidly changing combat distances, using the environment for protective cover, and omnidirectional battles to overcome challenging enemies and situations.”

Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon will be released on 25 August 2023 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Players will be able to take advantage of PlayStation Free Upgrade and Xbox Smart Delivery.
