FromSoftware’s Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon will reportedly feature support for six players for its multiplayer mode.
That’s at least according to an image of the game box art posted by Reddit user EntertainmentMission, which clearly states 2-6 players on the back of the packaging.
We’re still waiting for confirmation on this via FromSoftware, but providing the box art isn’t a fake, it looks like six players is all but confirmed at this point.
Armored Core VI sees players hoping into the metallic boots of augmented mercenary, who has access to a massive customisable mech. According to a previous article on the PlayStation Blog, fans can look forward too the “smooth, responsive controls they’ve come to expect in FromSoftware’s games is still here — just in a different context.”
In terms of narrative, Armored Core VI takes place on the planet Rubicon, which is home to a powerful energy source known as the Coral. This material is highly volatile, and has resulted in a huge disaster that has reduced nearly all of the planet to ash. Despite this, mega corporations still wage war over this valuable resource.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is slated for release on August 25, 2023 for PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.
