First Armored Core Gameplay Trailer Showcases Intense Mecha Action by FromSoftware; Pre-orders are Available Now

Lyon, FRANCE — April 27, 2023 — ARMORED CORE™ VI FIRES OF RUBICON™, the latest high-octane action game by FromSoftware, Inc. and Bandai Namco Europe S.A.S. will release globally on August 25. Combining the 25 years of experience developing the ARMORED CORE franchise and action games in the ELDEN RING, and DARK SOULS franchise, ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON is full of mech action, including fast-paced battles, in-depth customization, and thrilling boss fights. The game is coming to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, and is now available to pre-order at participating retailers and on Bandai Namco Store.

A mysterious new substance called “Coral” was discovered on the remote planet, Rubicon 3. As an energy source, this substance was expected to dramatically advance humanity’s technological and communications capabilities. Instead, it caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and the surrounding stars in flames and storms, forming a Burning Star System. Almost half a century later, Coral has resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and sealed off by the catastrophe. Extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight over control of the substance. The player infiltrates Rubicon as an independent mercenary and finds themselves in a struggle over the substance with the corporations and other factions.

Featuring highly mobile and highly customizable mechas, ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON will put players in fast-paced battles, where they can make full use of offensive and defensive maneuvers on both land and in the air to overcome foes. To be the most successful and profitable mercenary on Rubicon 3, players must master rapidly changing combat distances, using the environment for protective cover, and omni-directional battles to overcome challenging enemies and situations.

In the first-ever gameplay reveal for ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON,these crucial elements are highlighted in a new trailer available here:

Preorder now and get ready for the global launch of ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON on August 25. The game will be part of PlayStation Free Upgrade and Xbox Smart Delivery.
