Why FromSoft fans should be excited for Armored Core
polygon.comFans of FromSoftware have been rewarded for their patience with the triumphant release of Elden Ring. The game is good. But what comes next? Luckily, we may already know: a new entry in the studio’s longest running and long dormant series, Armored Core.
It’s been nine long years since we got a new entry in the franchise, which at one point was releasing games on an annual basis.
