FromSoftware’s paramount IP returns after a decade with new tricks up its sleeve. A new trailer shows off gameplay capabilities as mechs confront each other in a series of battles.

A mysterious new substance was discovered, hoping to dramatically advance humanity’s technological capabilities. However, this substance caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and the surrounding stars in flames and storms.

Players will assemble their mechs from a wide variety of parts to infiltrate the planet and fight for a solution to this volatile substance. Gameplay looks fresh with new move sets (and some souls-like inputs) and long-time fans of the franchise can catch glimpses of various Armored Core generations rolled into one style.
