The game embodies the spirit of previous Armored Core titles, while adding in the challenging missions that Dark Souls and Elden Ring developer FromSoftware is known for. Armored Core 6 has been praised for its fast-paced, dynamic mech battles as well as its high levels of customization, which allow you to kit out your mech to suit your playstyle. It currently has a score of 86 on Metacritic and 91% positive reviews on Steam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON \u2014 Story Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vs2piSWfofQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as being highly evaluated by publications and players alike, Armored Core 6 has apparently also done well financially. In October 2023, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/80.lv\/articles\/armored-core-vi-sales-hit-over-2-8-million-copies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> to have quickly sold over 2.8 million copies, less than 2 months after release. FromSoftware posted on X yesterday that the game has surpassed 3 million copies worldwide. This makes Armored Core 6 the best-selling title in the series by a large margin (for reference, Armored Core 5 was <a href=\"https:\/\/ja.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B3%E3%82%A2V\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> to have sold 250,000 copies in Japan, with global estimates around 400,000).&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\">\u300eARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON\u300f\u306e\u4e16\u754c\u7d2f\u8a08\u51fa\u8377\u672c\u6570\u304c300\u4e07\u672c\u3092\u7a81\u7834\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u672c\u4f5c\u3092\u30d7\u30ec\u30a4\u3057\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3063\u305f\u7686\u3055\u3093\u3001\u672c\u5f53\u306b\u3042\u308a\u304c\u3068\u3046\u3054\u3056\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UqtGiIzNUh\">pic.twitter.com\/UqtGiIzNUh<\/a><\/p>&mdash; FROMSOFTWARE (@fromsoftware_pr) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fromsoftware_pr\/status\/1816473504642134502?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 25, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Post translation:<\/strong> <em>Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon has shipped a cumulative total of over 3 million copies worldwide.
