Armored Core has never been a particularly fashionable franchise, but FromSoftware has never been more popular either. The upcoming Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon has commanded significant attention as a result – and, honestly, it looks outstanding in this 12-minute gameplay trailer. We get a glimpse of some combat, traversal, rig customisation, and a few boss fights in this sprawling showcase.
While past entries in the property have been quite low-budget, it’s clear that all the Elden Ring money has enabled the Japanese developer to seriously upgrade the production values here, and we get some gigantic set-piece moments as a result – it looks incredible, with lots happening on the screen, and some uber-nimble controls.
