Game Overview:
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is a mech-based action game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco.
It is the first new mainline entry in the series since 2013’s Armored Core: Verdict Day.
The mech combat title launched in August 2023 for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and PC to strong critical acclaim.
"No decision is based on any assumption that, hey, we did it once, it’s going to happen again," says studio president Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Gaming in general saw a decrease in year-over-year profits for Bandai Namco. The company still praises titles like Elden Ring and Tekken 8, however.
"Armored Core 6 was a success. On the other hand, not everything was perfect, and there is still room to make it better, so I have no intention of stopping there," says Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Patch 1.05 adds new PvP maps, AC parts, nameplate personalization, and much more to FromSoftware's mecha action-adventure.
