From Software’s next game isn’t an Elden Ring or Dark Souls sequel. It’s a sequel to an older series that existed long before those action-RPGs took over the gaming landscape. Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is the developer’s next game, and it’s slated to release sometime this year. It’s up for preorder now at all the usual retailers (see it at Amazon). Read on to see what comes with the game, plus what to expect from this blast from the past.

What Is Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon?
Armored Core is a series of mech shooters that dates back to the early days of From Software, with the first installment hitting the original PlayStation in 1997. The company put out a lot of games over the ensuing years, but it kept making Armored Core games every few years, with the most recent installment being 2013’s Armored Core: Verdict Day for PS3 and Xbox 360.
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is about a dangerously unstable new fuel source found on the planet Rubicon 3. Various corporations and resistance groups are vying for control of the substance. You play as a freelancing mercenary, and you create your very own mech that you can use to maneuver and blast through a series of missions.
