How Armored Core 6 Evolves the Series for A New Generation

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon ushers in the return of developer FromSoftware’s legendary mech series, following a nearly 10-year absence. Since its release, Armored Core 6 has received mostly positive reviews, with many citing the title’s trademark combat and customization as its greatest strengths. In the time since the series’ last title was released, FromSoftware has come to be revered for its tough-as-nails RPG properties, which gave rise to the Soulsborne genre. While Armored Core 6 is not a Soulsborne, the title’s gameplay, missions, and boss battles have been overhauled to present a daunting challenge to modern gamers. This overhaul, particularly to player-approach and combat, sees Armored Core 6 evolve from the classic series for a new generation.
