Prepare for Fires of Rubicon: Ultimate Armored Core Pre-Game Must-Haves
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is on the horizon, but new to the franchise? This guide highlights the best Armored Core games to play before diving into the latest installment.
The Armored Core Legacy
FromSoftware, renowned for its Souls-like games, boasts a rich history with the Armored Core franchise. Spanning decades and numerous titles (up to the early 2010s), this mecha action series plunges players into a post-apocalyptic Earth where they assume the role of a mercenary pilot.
As a mercenary, your primary objective is client satisfaction. Missions range from eliminating enemy combatants and scouting enemy territory to high-stakes pursuits of valuable cargo. Successful missions yield funds crucial for mech maintenance and upgrades. Master the art of combat, and you'll command superior weaponry and enhanced capabilities. Fail, and your mission ends.
The Armored Core series comprises 5 main numbered entries (plus numerous spin-offs, totaling 16 games). The first two games share a timeline, while Armored Core 3, 4, and 5 each exist in separate continuities. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon (August 25, 2023 release) is poised to establish a new storyline. To prepare for this latest entry, Game8 presents a curated selection of the best Armored Core games to experience beforehand.
