The Armored Core series has been a cornerstone of the mecha genre for years, and now the latest installment, Armored Core 6, is just around the corner. At the 2018 Playstation Experience, Bandai Namco gave us a closer look at what’s in store for the upcoming title.
The main game is a story-driven campaign where players take on the role of protagonist Laena and try to bring peace to a war-torn world. The game will bring the series’ signature mix of third-person shooter action and mecha combat to the forefront, and from the clips seen so far, it appears that the action is as fast-paced as ever.
The trailer also gave us a glimpse of some of the game’s hulking bosses. One particular boss fight featured what appeared to be a giant, four-legged mech that dwarfed even the largest in-game mechs. It appears that there will be a host of other formidable enemies and bosses for players to face-off against.
The game is also set to bring a variety of new weapons and customization mechanics. Players can customize their mechs from head to toe, from the colors and armour to the weapons and even the cockpit. This makes for a truly unique experience every time you play, and is sure to add plenty of replay value to the game.
Overall, Armored Core 6 looks to be a worthy sequel to the classic mecha franchise. With lightning-fast combat, massive bosses, and lots of customization options, it appears that this could be the best installment in the series yet. We can’t wait to get our hands on the full version when it releases early next year.
