Armored Core 6

In 2023, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco Entertainment released Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, a highly anticipated mecha-based vehicular combat game. This installment marked the return of the Armored Core series after nearly a decade, and it was made available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.

Armored Core VI garnered positive reviews and achieved significant commercial success, especially on Windows, where it reached 1.3 million in sales. The game's popularity was evident in Japan, with the PlayStation 5 version becoming the top-selling retail game in its debut week, selling 115,393 physical copies, while the PlayStation 4 version secured the second spot with 47,949 copies sold.

Set on the remote planet Rubicon 3, Armored Core 6 allows players to take control of customizable mechs known as Armored Cores for various missions and exploration. The extensive selection of parts and weapons empowers players to craft their own unique playstyles, enhancing the game's appeal.

With its fast-paced gameplay, robust customization options, and impressive visuals, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon has earned a reputation as one of the finest mecha games ever produced.

Armored Core 6 Gameplay

Armored Core VI focuses on intense mecha-based vehicular combat, immersing players in the roles of skilled mech pilots, known as Armored Cores. The game places a strong emphasis on customization, allowing players to fine-tune their mechs using a diverse array of parts, thereby enhancing their capabilities.

One of the game's standout features is the wide selection of weaponry available for mech armament. With slots for weapons on each arm and two on the mech's back, players have the freedom to strategically outfit their mechs for combat scenarios.

Continuing a tradition from previous entries, Armored Core VI introduces an "arena" concept via the "combat aptitude evaluation program." Here, players can put their skills to the test and engage in competitive battles against other players. Successful participation rewards players with "OS Tuning" chips that unlock specific abilities and upgrades. Completing missions earns players in-game currency called credits, with the amount dependent on mission objectives and potential deductions for unmet goals.

Unlike earlier titles in the series, Armored Core VI eliminates the debt system, which previously penalized players by deducting money for mission failures. In this installment, players can attempt missions as often as desired without worrying about losing currency.
