Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon has received 13 minutes of gameplay footage courtesy of FromSoftware, offering a proper glimpse at some of the game’s key mechanics.
One of these is the Assault Boost, which is used for both combat and traversal, as well as the ability to stagger foes by damaging the Attitude Control System, putting them out of action temporarily.
In addition, FromSoftware also used the opportunity to reveal more details on the game’s plot:
In a future where interstellar travel is commonplace, our story begins in a distant star system, on the fictional planet Rubicon 3. Our protagonist, an independent mercenary, is smuggled into Rubison in search of a mysterious new substance known as Coral. Huge, multi-layered stages will let players make the most of their Armored Core’s exceptional movement and attack capabilities.
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is due for release on PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One on August 25, 2023.
