Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon release date revealed

FromSoftware's upcoming mech-action game, Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon, gets an official release date alongside an extended first look at its gameplay. Although the iconic developers are mostly known for their brutally challenging role-playing experiences, they have also worked on several other genres. This includes mech-action with their Armored Core series.

Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon is the first title in the Armored Core franchise to be released on the current-generation console hardware. This comes after the series entirely skipped the eighth console generation (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One). The game is also the series' debut title on PC (via Steam).

Alongside the rather lengthy and cinematic gameplay trailer, FromSoftware also gave fans a look at the game's Collector's Edition. With the game's 2023 release date announcement, pre-orders for Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon have also gone live on all platforms.
