The focus of Armored Core 6 is on 'assembling and customizing your own mech,' says FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki.
For newcomers to FromSoftware's mech series, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon might sound like an impenetrable late-series sequel that refers to deep lore from the '90s. In actuality, nobody's expected to know where Rubicon is and why it's on fire. The mecha series spans 13 games and seven spin-offs, some of which have built on one another, but Armored Core 6 tells a new story that doesn't follow from Armored Core 5 or its sequel, which came out back in 2012 and 2013.
"So the real impetus for this project, I think, or at least one of the real appeals for me, comes from that aspect of assembly," Miyazaki told IGN."And being able to really freely assemble and customize the mech, I think is what we really highly focus on in Armored Core.
Regarding combat, I imagine we have some lengthy Souls-Core comparison video essays in our future, but for newcomers to Armored Core, I think the most important distinction to make is that it's an action game, not the MechWarrior-style sim some PC gamers may associate with customizable mech combat. AC6 will be the first Armored Core game to release on PC.
