The release of Armored Core VI: Fires Of Rubicon marked the long-awaited return of the Armored Core franchise after it was gone for a decade, and what a return it was.
Arguably one of the best games in the franchise period, and one of the best action games ever released, it’s no surprise that less than a year after it launched, developer FromSoftware reveals that it has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide.
Which, in the grand scheme of things might not seem like much, but it’s more than significant for a franchise that has never reached sales heights like this. Fires Of Rubicon is far and away the highest selling game in the franchise that is now six games deep.
“Thank you to all Ravens, new and old, who have braved the fires and flown on borrowed wings,” FromSoftware said to players in a post on Twitter announcing the news.
While it’s still got a long way to go to reach the heights of FromSoftware’s fantasy titles, this could be the beginning of a new era of Armored Core games.
