Review Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon (PS5) - Great Mecha Action at Times Feels Stunted
Earth to Raven

Having sold more than 20 million copies of the open world masterpiece, the studio has returned to a series it...

News Armored Core 6 Crashes Through 3 Million Sales as First Anniversary Approaches
Core support
We suppose it's quite easy to forget, but FromSoftware actually released another game between Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree. Its hardcore mecha action title, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, launched in August of last year, and as it approaches its first anniversary, we've been handed news of it breaking through 3 million sales...

Putting things in perspective
Finally, someone has gotten around to modding maps from FromSoftware's recent mech epic Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon into Elden Ring, the studio's magnum opus.

News FromSoftware Still Can't Get the Frame Rate Right in Armored Core 6, PS5 Analysis Shows
Elden Ring all over again
FromSoftware is still struggling to lock its games to 60 frames-per-second, it seems. The Japanese developer has a history of not quite reaching its technical targets, with beloved games like Bloodborne and even the much more recent Elden Ring exhibiting performance flaws — particularly on consoles. And it's the same old...

News Armored Core 6 Will Break Sales Records Due to Elden Ring's Success
But Bandai Namco is remaining realistic
It’s hard to believe that Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is poised to be one of the biggest games of the year. That’s because we’ve lived through and reported on several Armored Core launches in the past, and never has the niche mech combat property attracted attention quite like this. It makes sense,...

News Armored Core 6 PS5 File Size Isn't So Bad
We'll take it
The good news: it's looking like you won't be forced to delete several games in order to fit Armored Core 6 on your PS5. The bad news: FromSoftware's latest still isn't what we'd call 'small' in terms of file size. In fact, it's pretty much bang in the middle of what most players would deem reasonable, weighing in at a not-so-terrible...

Our findings after three hours of play

About The Game
A mysterious new substance called “Coral” was discovered on the remote planet, Rubicon 3. As an energy source, this substance was expected to dramatically advance humanity’s technological and communications capabilities. Instead, it caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and the surrounding stars in flames and storms, forming a Burning Star System. Almost half a century later, Coral has resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and sealed off by the catastrophe. Extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight over control of the substance. The player infiltrates Rubicon as an independent mercenary and finds themselves in a struggle over the substance with the corporations and other factions.
Featuring highly mobile and highly customisable mechas, ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON will put players in fast-paced battles where they can make full use of offensive and defensive maneuvers on both land and in the air to overcome foes. To be the most successful and profitable mercenary on Rubicon 3, players must master rapidly changing combat distances, using the environment for protective cover, and omni-directional battles to overcome challenging enemies and situations.
