Why Armored Core 6’s Mission Briefings May Divide Fans

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon was released this week, nearly a decade after the series’ most recent entry, Armored Core: Verdict Day. The title was released to critical and commercial acclaim, with many citing that Armored Core 6‘s evolved gameplay made for an exhilarating return. Armored Core was one of FromSoftware’s earliest break-out hits, and the series return has proven especially meaningful to older gamers. However, FromSoftware’s fanbase has grown substantially in Armored Core‘s absence, thanks to the developers’ modern titles giving rise to the Soulsborne genre. While fans of both eras will certainly enjoy the modern vehicular-combat of Armored Core 6, one feature may prove divisive among fans.
