PlayStation 4 Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

Feed the fire. Let the last cinders burn.

FromSoftware, the creator of the DARK SOULS series and ELDEN RING, presents this installment in the ARMORED CORE series.

This action game puts you in control of your own original Armored Core, a mech assembled by exchanging its parts, and lets you move freely through a three-dimensional science-fiction world with varied pacing.

Overwhelm enemies with dynamic movement, using gunfire and close-quarters combat. Enjoy the varied, aggressive action that only a mech can perform as you confront powerful enemies and challenging situations.

An unknown new substance and the struggle for control

Roughly half a century has passed since the great catastrophe known as the Fires of Ibis.

An unknown new substance has been detected once again on a frontier development planet.

The ambitions of off-world corporations, secretly invading to gain control of its interests, intersect with those of the forces resisting their greed. The conflict between them is beginning to develop into a full-scale struggle.

And now independent mercenaries, too, are about to throw themselves into its midst.

Assemble your own machine

The humanoid weapon you pilot, the Armored Core, changes in many ways depending on its equipped parts. These affect its combat style, such as gunfire or close-quarters fighting, as well as its handling and action capabilities.

Combine hundreds of different parts for highly flexible customization that suits your own play style.

Dynamic battles made possible by mechs

Use mobility to launch a surprise attack from a blind spot, or attempt a frontal assault with high firepower and defenses. The strategy is up to you.

Race freely across the battlefield, shift fiercely between long-range and point-blank combat, and exploit a momentary opening to unleash a relentless attack. Experience aggressive offense and defense that no human could imitate.

Varied missions that reward your own strategy

As an independent mercenary, you accept requests from all kinds of organizations with differing beliefs and objectives and take to the battlefield. Missions include attacking enemy territory, defending targets and gathering intelligence.

Use your rewards to obtain new parts, freely assemble your machine and undertake further missions.
