Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon Breaks the Console Exclusivity | Armored Core VI Preview (2022)
375Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is an upcoming mecha-based vehicular combat game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The first entry in the Armored Core series since Armored Core: Verdict Day (2013), it is set to be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in 2023.
Armored Core VI is set on Rubicon 3, a distant planet. On Rubicon 3, humanity had found a new energy source, which they wanted to use to further bolster the economy and its technological advancements. However, this mysterious energy source instead caused an apocalyptic event on Rubicon 3, engulfing the planet in flames. After its rediscovery a half-century later, humanity once again rushes out to gain control over this mysterious resource. The player controls an independent mercenary piloting one of the titular Armored Cores, taking on jobs of extra-terrestrial mega-corporations and Rubicon resistance groups.
In September 2016, FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki mentioned that a new entry in the Armored Core series was in early development. In January 2022, the development of a potential new installment of the Armored Core series was leaked due to a focus test. A ResetEra user shared details of footage he had been shown. In this leak, it was implied that the series would be taking a new direction inspired by FromSoftware's Dark Souls and Elden Ring.
The game was formally announced at The Game Awards 2022 in December. It is being directed by Masaru Yamamura, his debut in the role after being a lead game designer on Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. He took over from Miyazaki, who had led the development initially. Miyazaki and Yamamura clarified that they had not been making an intentional effort to push the game toward a Soulslike style of gameplay.
