Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is a mission-based action game about piloting a giant combat machine. On the planet Rubicon 3, corporations and other factions struggle to control Coral, a valuable substance tied to an earlier catastrophe. You play an independent mercenary known as 621, accepting jobs that draw you deeper into the conflict. The story is not presented as one uninterrupted open-world journey; you choose and replay individual missions from a menu.

Read full overview

Before a mission, you build your Armored Core from parts such as legs, arms, boosters, weapons, and generators. A lighter build can move quickly but may not carry heavy equipment; another setup can survive more damage or attack from a distance. In combat, you can dodge, fly, use cover, and attack from multiple directions. If a boss stops your progress, changing the machine's parts and learning its attack pattern can make a major difference.

FromSoftware developed the game and Bandai Namco Entertainment published it on August 25, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. You do not need to know every previous Armored Core story to understand this new Rubicon conflict. The official cover shows a battle-worn mech with the game's full logo.
