Armored Core 6 is the first new title in the series in about 10 years, making the hype for it more than justified. The new fan base that FromSoftware has cultivated over the past 10 years through their other titles also likely has their eyes on the new title.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230822-261019-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230822-261019-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230822-261019-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230822-261019-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230822-261019-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230822-261019-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230822-261019-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230822-261019-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230822-261019-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230822-261019-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, an article on our Japanese site recently reported on just how much excitement can be seen for the new release in the overseas community, a worthy representative being the r\/fromsoftware community on Reddit. The thread \u201cHow is everybody feeling about Armored Core 6?\u201d (un)expectedly revealed a pronounced sexual tone, with users making no effort to conceal their thirst and arousal for the comeback of \u201cArmored Cussy\u201d, starting from the top-rated response that says, \u201cI\u2019m feeling somewhat sexual if I\u2019m being honest,\u201d and others offering a simple but impactful \u201cHorny.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/fromsoftware\/comments\/15tw4gj\/how_is_everybody_feeling_about_armored_core_6\/\">How is everybody feeling about Armored Core 6?<\/a><br> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Overlord_Aku\/\">u\/Overlord_Aku<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/fromsoftware\/\">fromsoftware<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The sentiments were shared by many, with some users mentioning that feelings of horniness are a natural occurrence to them when FromSoftware games are in question. On the other hand, how did the Japanese side of the fandom react to the unabashed displays of lust? Naturally, a wave of \u201cWTF\u201d coursed through the community, with people asking, \u201cI get being excited, but <em>excited<\/em>?\u201d and expressing worry about potential new fans being driven away by the fandom\u2019s freakiness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, soon enough, it became clear that the thirst for Armored Core is much more of a shared language than one would think, with more and more users <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tukumo81\/status\/1693908326994821201?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">going<\/a>, \u201cYou know what, I get them,\u201d and \u201cArmored Core is halfway there to being an erotic game anyways.\u201d What started as recognizing that the combined factors of Armored Core 6 being a \u201cFrom game\u201d and a 10-year-awaited sequel are enough to make peoples\u2019 excitement escalate into arousal, quickly turned into \u201crobots are hot\u201d discourse, with people <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/glitchnoise1\/status\/1693920688086843834?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reminiscing<\/a> about the particularly sexy elements of the game, such as Heavyweight Bipedals and Quadlegs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u9006\u95a2\u7bc0\u3068\u56db\u811a\u30a8\u30c3\u30c1\u3059\u304e\u3066\u30b3\u30fc\u30e9\u30eb\u3067\u3061\u3083\u3046\u3088\u304a<\/p>&mdash; \u30b7\u30b8\u30df sijimi\ud83c\udf53 (@443sijimiff14) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/443sijimiff14\/status\/1693925941280719296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 22, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> \n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Post translation:<\/strong> Reverse Joints and Quadlegs are so hot I\u2019m about to bust Coral&nbsp;<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One user even presented a hypothesis on why Armored Core 6 may be triggering such a response, raising a point different from the ones already mentioned, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/xigasasak\/status\/1693893744498737356?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">saying<\/a>, \u201cYour battle instinct is heightened\u2192 you feel that your life is in danger \u2192 the instinct to leave offspring increases your sexual desire&#8230;?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the fandom\u2019s shenanigans this time around reminded a lot of players of the similar collective frenzy that took place in the period right before FromSoftware was about to drop Elden Ring. Though, at the time, the irrational fear of dying before the release and never getting to play the game seemed to be more dominant.
