Gear up and ignite the battlefield in Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, FromSoftware’s 2023 mech-action triumph that roared onto PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X|S, and PC on August 25, 2023. After a decade-long hiatus, the Armored Core series is back with a vengeance, blending the studio’s signature brutality—think Dark Souls with jet boosters—with blistering robot combat that’ll leave your adrenaline pumping. Piloting a towering AC (Armored Core), you’re a mercenary thrown into the war-torn rubble of Rubicon 3, a planet scorched by corporate greed and a mysterious substance called Coral. This isn’t just a game—it’s a full-on mech apocalypse!
Customize your AC from the ground up—swap legs for treads, bolt on missile launchers, or wield a plasma rifle that melts steel. With hundreds of parts and a deep assembly system, you’ll tweak boosters, armor, and weapons to match your playstyle—go lightweight and dodge like a demon or tank up and slug it out. The missions hit hard: infiltrate bases, defend convoys, or duel rival mechs in arenas, all while facing bosses that demand precision and grit. The Hard Lock system keeps you on target, but stagger mechanics mean every hit counts—time your barrages or get scrapped.
Set in a dystopian sci-fi sprawl, Fires of Rubicon serves up a story of betrayal, rebellion, and moral gray zones—think rival factions like Balam and Arquebus clashing over Coral while you cash their checks. The visuals scream next-gen: crumbling megastructures, fiery skies, and mechs that spark and shatter in glorious detail. Multiplayer’s lean but lethal—1v1 or 3v3 battles let you flex your builds online. Critics rave (87 on Metacritic), fans adore it (over a million copies sold in weeks), and its replayability’s off the charts with New Game+ and hidden endings. Available across platforms, Armored Core VI is a mech-lover’s dream—build it, pilot it, and burn it all down!
