Bandai and From Software return to their mechs with Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

Bandai Namco and From Software today announced Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, the new episode of the famous mech series in which we can create and customize our robot and then take it to fight in an open and freely explorable world.

Here is the first official information, the announcement trailer and a set of images.

Dynamic and fast-paced mech action.

Based on the knowledge gained during the joint development of their recent titles, Bandai Namco Entertainment and FromSoftware intend to offer a new action game. Combining FromSoftware's long experience in mech games and its distinctive robust gameplay, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon will be a new action experience.

In Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, players will be able to assemble and pilot their own mech with 3D maneuverability to move freely through fast-paced three-dimensional missions. Take on tough challenges and overwhelm your enemies with dynamic movements that take full advantage of ranged and melee combat. Players can enjoy a variety of actions that can only be truly accomplished with mechs.

History

On the remote planet Rubicon 3, a mysterious new substance has been discovered. As a source of energy, this substance was supposed to drastically advance humanity's technological and communication capabilities. Instead, this substance caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and surrounding stars in flames and storms, forming a Fiery Star System.

Nearly half a century later, the same substance has resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and isolated from catastrophe.

Extraterrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight for control of the substance. The player infiltrates Rubicon as an independent mercenary and finds himself fighting for substance with corporations and other factions.

Development Team

Hidetaka Miyazaki was involved as the director of the initial game. Based on the initial development, Masaru Yamamura assumed the role of director.
