Armored Core 6 story and setting
The Armored Core series is set in an apocalyptic future where corporations hire mercenaries to pilot giant mechanized robots that fight tooth and nail for bounties and resources.
Armored Core 6 carries on this mech-filled apocalypse. According to Bandai Namco's website (opens in new tab), the narrative focus on this upcoming title will surround a new mysterious substance found on the planet Rubicon 3. Initially seen as a brilliant energy source, this substance became unstable and engulfed the planets and surrounding stars in flames.
Almost half a century later, this same substance has resurfaced on the contaminated planet and piqued numerous big corporations' interest. You will be sent to Rubicon 3 as a mercenary to capture this source of power and fight off anyone who gets in your way.
Armored Core 6 gameplay
Armored Core 6 is a "3D combat mecha action game" that will see players "freely run around the three-dimensional stage with slow and steady three-dimensional maneuvers", according to FromSoftware's official website (opens in new tab).
Mechs have always been a big part of the Armored Core series. Like the original games, players will have enormous control over mech customization. You can create original mechs by swapping out pieces that can be purchased with money earned from mercenary missions.
There will also be a multiplayer mode "where you'll be able to customize your mech and take that fully customized mech into battle with others", the director of Armored Core 6, Masaru Yamamura, said in an interview with IGN (opens in new tab).
Armored Core 6 news
The Soulsborne games were “the only obstacle” preventing Armored Core 6
It’s been 10 years since the release of the last Armored Core game and, in an interview with BNE Fun Live (opens in new tab), producer Yasutaka Ogura explained why (opens in new tab) FromSoftware hasn't released a new series entry sooner.
“There was never any intention to leave this large a gap [between Armored Core games],” Ogura said. “The only real obstacle [...] was that our company always had so many different titles on the go." So thanks to all those pesky critically acclaimed Soulsborne games, we’ve had to wait a decade for Armored Core 6.

Elie’s first step into gaming was through Pokemon. The video games came later, but it was the trading card game that caught her eye and led to Elie owning an extensive playing card collection (She would tell you how many are PSA 10, but she doesn’t want to get robbed).
When it’s not Pokemon it's got to be horror. Any and every game that would keep you up at night is on her list to play. This is all despite the fact that one of Elie’s biggest fears is being chased – so horror games aren’t always the most enjoyable experience.
