ARMORED CORE™ VI FIRES OF RUBICON™

ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON is FromSoftware's return to the mech-action series after a decade away, featuring fast-paced 3D combat that emphasizes customizing your AC (Armored Core) from hundreds of parts to suit each mission. Unlike the studio's Souls titles, the game is mission-based rather than open world, and checkpoints are generous. Multiplayer includes PvP arena battles.
