As rumored last week, a new Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon trailer was shared online today, providing a first, proper look at the gameplay of the next entry in the series launching later this year on PC and consoles worldwide.
The new trailer, which is packed with intense mecha action as per the series' tradition, also confirmed the game will release on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One on August 25th. With a release date now set, pre-orders have also been opened for all versions of the game.
Alongside the new gameplay trailer, Bandai Namco and FromSoftware released some brand new 4K resolution Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon screenshots, as well as new information on the game's world and story. At some point, a mysterious substance called Coral was discovered on the planet Rubicon 3. Instead of helping the advancements of technology as a new energy source, Coral caused a catastrophe that destroyed the planet and formed a Burning Star System. Fifty years later, Coral reappeared on Rubicon 3, but it wouldn't be left alone for long, as extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups vied for its control, the player-controlled mercenary finding themselves in the midst of a struggle that promises to be epic.
