Armored Core 6 is being directed by Sekiro game director Masaru Yamamura confirmed. New screenshots and story info surfaces.
Armored Core 6 is the modern, action-packed mecha game that deviates from the Soulsbornes formula orchestrated by Hidetaka Miyazaki.
From Software parent company Kadokawa has released its financials for the year, and while profits are down, Armored Core has performed surprisingly well.
Name another company that has ever released only games worthy of a 90+ score for over a decade? starting with Demon's Souls, nothing but 90+s...even DS2 was a great game.
I hope we get another AC game in the future or some DLC, I don't think we'll see DLC though. At the shizuoka hobby show they apparently announced a heap of AC model kits, even from older games like AC3.
According to parent company Kadokawa, Armored Core 6 sales performed "beyond expectations" at the end of last year, as did Elden Ring sales.
I loved it, no surprise it did well because there's nothing like it and the fans have been starved of a new game for 10 years. It also helps that the game is fun and complete, no DLC/micro transactions or season passes either, which is typical of From Software games, I can't wait for Armored Core 7!
Its a fantastic game. It plays great on my Deck as well, so its an equally amazing portable game. No IAP's, no online requirement, just raw, exciting gameplay. The way games used to be. More of this, and they will get my day-1 money instead of waiting for sales to buy in.
It says Hidetaka Miyazaki was the original director for the game but then he handed it over to the Sekiro director. I wonder if that was cause he had to work on Elden Ring or if they have another big game in development.
MOAH HYPE!
This isn't getting the hype it deserves. I haven't felt this excited since the announcement of FF7R, and we all know how long ago that was.
Masaru Yamamura was the Lead Designer in Sekiro, not director
Day 1. Almost positive it will be GOTY, unless Bloodborne 2 releases the same year.
Never had one, always wanted one.
Now with power of next gen console (to do these justice)
....might have to oblige and buy it finally.
