FromSoftware may be best known for their dark fantasy games like the recent Elden Ring, but they’re coming back to mecha with the gameplay trailer for Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon.
Check out the insane new trailer:
Here’s the official description for the game:
Combining FromSoftware’s longstanding expertise in mech games with their signature action gameplay, ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON brings a brand-new action experience to the series.
Dynamic, Omni-directional Battles
Players will pilot their mech in fast-paced, omni-directional battles, taking advantage of massive stages and their mech’s mobility on land and in the air to ensure victory.
Customized Parts for Individual Battle Styles
Customize Armored Core parts to suit a large variety of playstyles. Selecting different parts not only changes the mech’s attacks, but also directly affects its movement and battle style, so each mission can be approached with a unique mech strategy.
Thrilling Boss Battles
Deploy a wide variety of offensive and defensive tactics at close and long range to take down powerful enemy bosses.
The Armored Core franchise is actually pretty old, and predates Dark Souls, with the first game coming out way back in the 90s. It’s actually been a while since the release of the last Armored Core game with AC5 coming out around 2012.
As we can see from the trailer, FromSoftware definitely embraces the scale of their games, and we have a look at this massive arena populated with all kind of huge mech battles for players to fight. While Elden Ring was said to have ended the Dark Souls franchise for the studio, Armored Core VI could be the start of the developers branching out to different genres moving forward.
Armored Core VI comes to PlayStation 4|5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on Aug. 25.
