Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is on the horizon, but what about the rest of the Armored Core franchise? This guide highlights the best Armored Core games to play before diving into the latest installment.
FromSoftware, renowned for its Souls-like games, boasts a rich history with the Armored Core series. This long-running franchise, spanning decades and concluding in the early 2010s, centers around intense mech combat. Players take on the role of mercenaries in a post-apocalyptic world, completing missions for the highest bidder.
Missions range from eliminating rebel forces and scouting enemy positions to pursuing high-value targets. Success earns you funds, crucial for mech maintenance and upgrades. Strategic combat and effective resource management are key to survival. Failure means mission failure.
By 2013, the Armored Core series comprised five main entries and numerous spin-offs, totaling sixteen games. The first two titles share a continuity, while Armored Core 3, 4, and 5 each exist in separate timelines. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, launching August 25, 2023, is poised to establish a new continuity. To prepare for this upcoming release, Game8 presents a curated selection of the best Armored Core games to play beforehand.
