FromSoftware Teases Revival Of Armored Core Series In Hype ... (Hot Hardware)

Mecha fans rejoice as one of the greatest giant robot games series of all time makes a triumphant return.

2022 marks the 25th year since the release of the original Armored Core game in 1997. Indeed, the plot setup—where the player takes on the role of a lone mercenary and then gets thrust into the midst of a conflict between multiple corporations and governments—is quite familiar, as that's essentially been the same setup for every Armored Core game. It seems that the game's plot will center around a conflict for control of a mysterious substance with the potential to "dramatically advance humanity's technological and communications capabilities." To fans of the franchise, that definitely recalls the later games that focused on "NEXTs" with vastly improved mobility and durability compared to the slow "Normals" of the earlier games. He and Famitsu also traded responses that referenced a Japanese meme regarding the Armored Core series and its storied history of military conflict. That was four years after the release of Armored Core: Verdict Day, currently the latest entry in the series.
