Armored Core 6 Plot
Director Masaru Yamamura has declared in his interviews that fans should expect a completely fresh story with an interesting plot and brand-new mechanics. Fires of Rubicon will not have many links to the previous volumes, meaning you don’t have to play the previous games in order to understand the brand-new one. You can also enjoy it if you’re new to the Armored Core franchise.
Armored Core 6 will take place on a mysterious planet named Rubicon 3. The plot is set in the future, where humanity has reached advanced civilization and is on a mission to explore the secrets of the cosmos.
Rubicon is home to a “strange substance” called Coral that proved to be a misfortune for the planet as the substance caused havoc and turned the planet into a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Discovery Of Coral Substance
It was discovered that Coral could prove to be a potential source of energy and a data conduit. Coral was expected to be the beginning of a new era for the technological advancement of humanity, but due to its unstable nature, it caused explosions termed as Fires of Ibis, which entirely covered the Rubicon planet in flames along with the surrounding star system.
After the unfortunate incident, it was considered that Coral had ceased to exist, and only the devasting remains were left behind. However, fifty years later, after the apocalypse, the traces of Coral are detected again on the Rubicon planet.
After the unexpected discovery, the researchers plotted a mission to have an expeditious journey to the Rubicon and control the Coral substance to prevent any future mishaps and use it for a better cause.
Your Role On The Rubicon Planet
You start your journey as Augmented Human C4-621, a human with cybernetically enhanced capabilities who works under the command of infamous handler “Walter.” You are smuggled illegally to the planet Rubicon once things go south.
As you enter illegally, you obtain a valid Mercenary License from a wrecked AC in order to interact with Allmind, the organization that communicates with mercenaries on Rubicon and manages their activities. From here, you’ll communicate with your handler to fight through the other factions and get your hands on the mysterious substance.
