Mech enthusiasts are locked and loaded. Much anticipated game Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is officially out now. It’s available on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and optimized for Steam Deck.

This particular iteration of the game is developed by FromSoftware. They’re famous for delivering bangers like Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne. Armored Core VI will feature fast-paced, high-action combat featuring the iconic mecha customization of the franchise.

Customization is at an all-time high. The title will have an arsenal of new long-range weapons — including bazookas, plasma rifles, and gatling guns — and melee weapons. Fashion Souls is also a spotlight; Armored Core VI will feature custom liveries, allowing for some sleek customization.

Intense Omnidirectional Combat

Overcome enemy challenges that come from all directions. You can take the battle to the air thanks to the addition of high-powered boosters. Players can boost jump, hover in the air, and assault boost to rapidly close distances. They can also use the highly maneuverable machines to rapidly switch from long-range to short-range battles.

Highly Mobile and Customizable Mechs

The key to success in Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is finding the right parts to do the job. With numerous different parts to fit in four weapon slots in addition to modifiable head, arms, legs, torsos, boosters, and more, tinkering to find the perfect combination of parts to overcome challenges is core to overcoming the game’s challenges.

A Completely New Story

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a fully standalone experience, with no story connections to previous entries of the series. The single-player story-driven experience features branching paths and multiple endings for players to explore.

Overcome Immense Odds on Rubicon 3

With FromSoftware’s signature challenging gameplay, players can strive for the sense of achievement to earn S-Ranks on solo missions, take on NPCs 1-on-1 in the Arena to unlock parts, and compete with other players in 1v1 or 3v3 online PVP battles.

Taking place before the events of the previous game, Mirage has the assassin root out the Order in 9^th-century Baghdad, a setting familiar to those who played the original title in 2007.
