What is Armored Core VI about?
A mysterious new substance was discovered on the remote planet, Rubicon 3. As an energy source, this substance was expected to dramatically advance humanity’s technological and communications capabilities. Instead, this substance caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and the surrounding stars in flames and storms, forming a Burning Star System.
Almost half a century later, the same substance resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and sealed off by the catastrophe.
Extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight over control of the substance. The player infiltrates Rubicon 3 as an independent mercenary and finds themselves in a struggle over the substance with the corporations and other factions.
The game’s premise and the gameplay itself is very different from what you might have seen in From Software’s Souls series, Bloodborne or other titles. From Software’s foundation is built on the Armored Core series and the studio is going back to its roots. While you do not get the same kind of combat that you would experience from Dark Souls, it should still offer a challenging experience if you are looking to test your gamer skills.
