Dynamic and fast-paced mech action.

Based on the knowledge gained during the joint development of their recent titles, Bandai Namco Entertainment and FromSoftware intend to offer a new action game.

History

On the remote planet Rubicon 3, a mysterious new substance has been discovered. As a source of energy, this substance was supposed to drastically advance humanity's technological and communication capabilities. Instead, this substance caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and surrounding stars in flames and storms, forming a Fiery Star System.

Nearly half a century later, the same substance has resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and isolated from catastrophe.

Extraterrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight for control of the substance. The player infiltrates Rubicon as an independent mercenary and finds himself fighting for substance with corporations and other factions.

Development Team

Hidetaka Miyazaki was involved as the director of the initial game. Based on the initial development, Masaru Yamamura assumed the role of director.
