The game takes place in a future where interstellar travel has become commonplace. According to the plot, the hero, an independent mercenary, arrives on the planet Rubicon 3 in search of a mysterious substance called coral.
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon was released on August 25, 2023 on PC (Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S. The game has earned high marks from critics and “very positive” reviews on Valve’s service.
FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki called Armored Core VI a success in a post-release interview, although “not everything[in the game]was perfect, and we still have a lot of room for improvement.”
