Boost Through 3D Combat
Swap Parts For Missions
A new action game based on the concept of the ARMORED CORE series that uses the knowledge gained from FromSoftware's recent action game development.
Developed by FromSoftware, Inc. · Published by FromSoftware, Inc., Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.









You pilot an Armored Core as a mercenary taking missions on Rubicon, a hostile planet shaped by conflict. The campaign follows your assignments and the choices made along the way.
Combat is fast and three-dimensional: boost, dash, and maneuver through large battlefields while using weapons at close or long range. Your mech’s parts affect its attacks and mobility, so changing its build can reshape how you approach a fight, especially against powerful bosses.
Between missions, earn credits and use them to buy parts and adjust your loadout. Replayable missions, branching choices, and additional missions on later playthroughs lead to three endings. The game also includes a single-player arena and online PvP.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the fast mech combat and the way different parts meaningfully change a build’s movement and fighting style. Experimenting with loadouts to overcome challenging bosses is a recurring source of satisfaction, as are the additional missions and story paths in later playthroughs. Some reviewers also value the bleak atmosphere, voice performances, and story revealed across the campaign.
