armored-core-6-gameplay-trailer-reveals-august-launch-date

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, the following game from Elden Ring developer FromSoftware, will likely be out on August 25. The launch date was revealed in a gameplay trailer dropped right now that, to place it mildly, is fairly rattling spectacular.

Armored Core 6 was introduced on the 2022 Game Awards with a trailer that was additionally fairly rattling spectacular. It might have been all CGI and did not reveal a lot in regards to the game past the truth that it existed, however for followers, that was sufficient.: A brand new Armored Core game had been rumored for ages, however the Game Awards reveal was the primary confirmed motion on that entrance in a decade.

The brand new video begins off with a equally cinematic method however then transitions to gameplay that includes enormous, high-speed mechs doing battle on the not-very-pleasant trying planet of Rubicon. I usually want a extra Battletech type of large preventing robots—gradual, lumbering, army—however I’m undeniably impressed by the sheer scale of every part on show right here. A few of these machines—I might assume bosses—are significantly large, but it surely’s the promise of big, open environments to roam round in (whereas below hearth, which is not actually perfect, however such is the best way of issues) that basically knocks my socks off. Elden Ring pulled me in that manner, and perhaps Armored Core 6 will too.

Courtesy of writer Bandai Namco, here is what all of the shooting is about:

A mysterious new substance known as “Coral” was found on the distant planet Rubicon 3. As an vitality source, this substance was anticipated to dramatically advance humanity’s technological and communications capabilities. As a substitute, it brought on a disaster that engulfed the planet and the encompassing stars in flames and storms, forming a Burning Star System. Virtually half a century later, Coral has resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and sealed off by the disaster. Further-terrestrial companies and resistance teams battle over management of the substance. The participant infiltrates Rubicon as an unbiased mercenary and finds themselves in a battle over the substance with the firms and different factions.

Yeah, that sounds just about par for the course.

The Armored Core video games have traditionally been console affairs—PlayStation-exclusive for some time, after which on Xbox 360 for the final couple video games within the sequence—however Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is confirmed for PC as effectively, and is now out there for pre-purchase on Steam. You will discover out extra on the up to date armoredcore.internet, and take a look at some new screens beneath.
