FromSoftware just released the new gaming project that is the Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon set to officially drop sometime in 2023. The company launched a trailer that features a range of giant mechs lingering around and creates a dark mood that hopefully is captured in the game itself.
The game is compatible with PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, S, and Xbox One, as well as PC via Steam when it does drop. The very first Armored Core V game made its debut back in 2012, which is a decade ago. Since then, it has become a notable name due to legacies including the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, and the Elden Ring as well.
