Armored Core 6 Release Date
The wait is finally over as you won’t have to wait longer now. The Armored Core 6 release date is set for August 25.
The Storyline
The storyline of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is set on the remote planet of Rubicon 3. There is a new energy source that is known as “Coral”. The task of this substance was to advance humanity’s technological and communication capabilities. However, it caused a catastrophic event that engulfed the planet and surrounding stars in flames and storms, forming a Burning Star System.
Almost half a century later, Coral resurfaces on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and sealed off by the catastrophe. Extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight over the control of the substance. The player takes on the role of an independent mercenary who must infiltrate Rubicon and engage in a struggle for control of the substance with the corporations and other factions.
Armored Core 6 Gameplay Mechanics
Armored Core 6 promises to be a highly customizable mecha game, with players controlling fast and agile machines. The gameplay features fast-paced battles that require the player to master rapidly changing combat distances. Use the environment for protective cover, and engage in omni-directional battles to overcome challenging enemies and situations.
The newly launched gameplay trailer confirms that the game stays true to the Armored Core formula despite being a soft reboot of the franchise. The environments of planet Rubicon 3 seen in the video are just as bleak as in past games. However, the boss battles in the upcoming title will be even more grandiose. It might be possible that some of the enemies will be so big that they can barely fit into the frame.
The boss designs themselves have also become more varied compared to Verdict Day, as suggested by a fight with a giant mech sand worm that is seen around the 1:53 mark. Fans of the franchise will be happy to see that the gameplay is just as fast-paced and erratic as past games in the series. This dispels any concerns that Fires of Rubicon will play like Dark Souls with mechs. However, the game promises a stiff challenge to fans, so players should get ready for a tough fight.
Armored Core 6 Platform Availability
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon will be available exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, according to Bandai Namco, the publisher of the game. This means that players who own older consoles or PCs may need to upgrade to the latest consoles to play the game.
Conclusion
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon promises to be an exciting addition to the franchise, with its fast-paced gameplay and highly customizable mechas. The storyline is intriguing and set in a unique world, which will keep players engaged and entertained for hours. With the game’s release date set for August 25, fans of the franchise won’t have to wait much longer to get their hands on this highly anticipated title. So, prepare your mechas and get ready for a stiff challenge.
