The official synopsis for Armored Core VI reads:
“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.”
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon officially launches on 25 August 2023 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Check out the gameplay trailer below:
