Bandai Namco announced today that Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, the new mech game from From Software (Elden Ring, Dark Souls), will arrive on our consoles on August 25th.

For the occasion, the publisher has also released the first trailer of the game's gameplay, showing the intense battles between mechs that will see us protagonists. Here it is below, along with a brief description of the game provided by the developers and a set of images.

A mysterious new substance called "Coral" has been discovered on a remote planet, Rubicon 3. As a source of energy, this material was expected to be able to dramatically increase humanity's technological and communication capabilities. Instead, it caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and surrounding stars in flames and storms, creating a Fiery Star System.

Nearly half a century later, Coral has resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and sealed by catastrophe. Extraterrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight for control of the substance. The player will infiltrate Rubicon as an independent mercenary and find himself fighting for substance with corporations and other factions.

With highly mobile and customizable mecha, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon will launch players into fast-paced battles where they can take full advantage of offensive and defensive maneuvers both on the ground and in the air to overcome enemies. To be the most successful and profitable mercenaries in Rubicon 3, players will have to master rapidly changing combat distances, using the environment to protect themselves, and omnidirectional battles to overcome enemies and challenging situations.
