New game by Elden Ring developer delivers ace apocalyptic mech combat
Let's be clear from the start, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is not Elden Ring with giant robots.
If you were already a fan of the series, which was FromSoftware's staple before their decade of Souls games, that's probably welcome news. If you're newer to the developer and curious about their first major release since Elden Ring, Armored Core VI is also worth your while, but it's best to approach it on its own terms.
If you cross that Rubicon, so to speak, you and your ever-present mech suit will crash land into a world ravaged by extraplanetary corporationsand you've got the idea). You play as a voiceless mercenary; an augmented human "hound" managed via voice transmissions from a gruff "handler" named Walter who briefs you on operations for any faction willing to pay for your services (sometimes at cross-purposes).
