From Software returns to the Armored Core series for the first time since 2013 with Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. Set on a distant planet known as Rubicon 3, humanity has caused a catastrophic event while harvesting a new sustainable energy source, forcing them to abandon their efforts and the planet. Roughly fifty years later, humanity has returned to claim the resource. As a mercenary for hire, players will take jobs from various factions that inhabit Rubicon 3. Despite the long history of the Armored Core series, no prior knowledge is necessary to jump into this sixth entry.
