Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon will reportedly focus on the verticality of levels while soaring freely through the linearly-designed missions to deal with the challenging enemies. The massive environments are designed for the players to aviate through the levels instead of only trekking the ground. Moreover, the level design perfectly mixes the worn-out exteriors with the natural terrain, creating an esthetical eye candy to relish during gameplay.

While challenges are sprinkled through and through in the upcoming mech title, the devs have integrated many methods to deal with them. For example, enemies moving and firing at breakneck speeds can be overwhelmed by using a booster in combat. Plenty of long and short-range melee options are included to fend off foes in Armored Core 6.

FromSoftware has also added different approaches to missions, letting players enjoy the game at their discretion. Lastly, according to the preview presentation shown to a few outlets, the team has also put a great emphasis on customization and mech management; it is as easy as tweaking the mech right after dying from the menu.

While FromSoftware has confirmed that the game will not add the Souls-like formula to Armored Core 6, the remnants are still present in the first mission during the gameplay presentation, as per a few reports. Moreover, the game is not open-world since the devs did not want it to resemble Elden Ring. It undoubtedly preserves the olden series formula to create a unique and indelible experience.

Armored Core 6 was announced during The Game Awards last year and is set to arrive on August 25. The plan is to release the game before the dawn of the new Elden Ring DLC; an official release date for the upcoming entry has not yet been confirmed. It is slated to arrive on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and PC. The pre-release install for Xbox is already available.
