FromSoftware announced Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon<\/strong><\/em> at The Game Awards 2022. Fans of the series rejoiced at the announcement after a nine-year wait since the previous title, Armored Core: Verdict Day<\/em>, and we\u2019ll have gone an entire decade without a new release hitting store shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon announcement, a YouTube channel<\/a> run by @00riu<\/a>, a game developer and cosplayer, attracted a lot of attention in Japan. The channel has been posting daily reports on whether new information on Armored Core<\/em> has been announced or not since March 3, 2021. This means that at the time of this writing, he has been posting for 650 days without a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There had been no information about the new game until its announcement at The Game Awards, so he posted a video every day that simply said, “There was no information about the new Armored Core game.” Some days, he would simply say that there was no news, and other days he would take the chance to talk about other topics, such as little details in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This channel is believed to be an homage to the “Elden Ring News” channel, which reported “There is no news about Elden Ring <\/em>today” for almost a year (related article<\/a>). The “Elden Ring News” activity was rewarded on day 361 with the announcement of the game’s release date. @00riu however, posted for almost twice as long, which is quite a commitment even if the majority of videos are only 10 seconds long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, on December 9 (JST), Armored Core VI <\/em>was announced. @00riu conducted the channel’s first live broadcast with the title, \u201cDecember 9, 2022, there was new Armored Core information !!!!!!!!”
