Everything we know about Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon — Release date, plot, gameplay

Still from the video game Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. A giant white mech robot down on one knee in the ruins of a building. They are holding a giant gun.

After the gargantuan success of Elden Ring last year, FromSoftware are back with the sixth mainline Armored Core title, the first entry in the long-running mecha franchise in a decade. With a rebooted story and setting, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon aims to produce a new generation of pilots and re-enlist veterans.

Like in previous installments, players pilot mechs called Armored Cores which can be customized using credits and parts that can be adjusted to better approach a wide variety of combat missions. While the main attraction is a mission-based, single-player story campaign, player-versus-player online multiplayer is making a comeback too.
