Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon revives and reimagines the Armored Core series as a new action game after 10 long years since the last entry in the franchise.

Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon will offer a game experience based on the mech game know-how FromSoftware cultivated over 25 years of developing games in the series, but now introducing groundbreaking gameplay found in the developer’s recent action games. 

The new Armored Core title will combine these elements into thrilling action that only mechas can provide. The game promises to be a unique entry in the mech action game genre.

In Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon, players will be able to freely move through massive three-dimensional environments with rapid maneuverability while experiencing visceral vehicular combat.

Success in Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon will come from tinkering with highly customizable mech builds, a signature feature of the series, and learning the right strategies and techniques such as staggering enemies with the right weapons, combining ranged and melee attacks, and taking every advantage in battle

The narrated trailer gives a mission briefing-style look at what aspiring pilots will need to know before deploying to Rubicon-3, a contaminated and cold planet where extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight over control of Coral, a valuable and mysterious new substance.

In Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon, players take on the role of an augmented human pilot optimized to command a weaponized mech known as an Armored Core. After infiltrating Rubicon-3 as an independent mercenary, they must quickly learn the rules of combat and survival in a brutally hostile environment. The “Overview Trailer” is the pre-mission briefing they will need, with sections covering story, combat techniques, customization, and mission structure. 

Featuring signature FromSoftware action, Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon will challenge players at every turn with epic battles and unforgettable boss fights, and the “Overview Trailer” gives a glimpse of what they can expect. Prepare for intense, fast-paced omnidirectional battles that require fighting on the ground and in the air. Learn how staggering enemies is key to bring down their Attitude Control System and deal the greatest damage. Optimize your mechs at the Assembly to deal with each difficult situation to ensure the greatest chance of success. Design custom Armored Cores  that include a broad range of aesthetic choices, creating unique mechs that can be shared with other players. 

Signature to FromSoftware’s carefully crafted game design, the game will feature challenging and memorable battles along with a fulfilling progression system and deep gameplay, all of it now powered by assembling mechs and going into combat with massive bosses.

Players will recognize the sense of satisfaction and achievement when they overcome a difficult situation and relish momentary victory, and perhaps a boost to their standing, before encountering the next challenge.

Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC on August 25, 2023.
