Armored Core 6 Key Art Emerges, Anticipation for Elden Ring Studio's Next Game Grows

Gamers can loosely be categorised into two broad groups: those who have accepted the radical, revolutionary game design teachings of auter developer Hidetaka Miyazaki (named to Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2023 list) into their hearts as the future of the medium, and those who haven't quite caught up yet.

All fun aside, key art from Elden Ring studio FromSoftware's next project, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, has emerged online, apparently pulled from the Microsoft Store via some Xbox tinkering. This is exciting because, as pundit Okami Games posits on Twitter, it indicates a release could be sooner than anticipated.

Of course, nothing is real until FromSoftware says it is. Still, factor in that recent rating in Taiwan and developers beginning to open up about the game, and it's entirely possible we will hear something more concrete soon. After all, it is meant to come out this year. We don't know about the rest of you, but a PS5-powered Armored Core, developed by a FromSoftware at the very height of its powers, is something we could go for right about now.
