Why an Armored Core-Esque Soulslike by FromSoftware May Never Happen

When Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon was first revealed, many unfamiliar with the series may have expected FromSoftware to release a game that followed the formula of the company’s Soulslikes. However, those fans would soon come to find out that Armored Core is a long-running series with its own distinct identity and gameplay fundamentals that FromSoftware has been working on since long before Demon’s Souls. While the idea of an Armored Core-style game with Soulslike foundations may sound appealing, there’s a good chance it will never happen.
