Highlights

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, FromSoftware's upcoming mecha action title, uses the same engine as Elden Ring and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Fans have been eagerly receiving updates on the gameplay, build mechanics, and PC specifications of the highly anticipated Armored Core 6, which marks the series' return after a decade-long hiatus. Additionally, the use of a shared engine with other games opens up exciting potential for modding, including the possibility of importing bosses from Elden Ring into Armored Core 6.

FromSoftware's highly anticipated mecha action game, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, is set to use the same engine as Elden Ring and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This long-awaited sixth installment will mark the first Armored Core game in over a decade, following the release of its previous numbered title in 2012.

As the game's release date in August approaches, fans have been eagerly gathering information about its gameplay, build mechanics, and even the necessary specifications for PC players. With just a week left until the official launch, some lucky fans have had the opportunity to experience a hands-on preview demo. One such fan recently confirmed that Armored Core 6 indeed utilizes the same engine as two of FromSoftware's previous acclaimed titles.

According to Lane McDonald on Twitter, Armored Core 6 is confirmed to be running on the same engine as Elden Ring and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This shared backend technology has sparked excitement among fans, who speculate about the potential for modders to bring bosses from Elden Ring into Armored Core 6, or vice versa.

Initially, FromSoftware expressed a desire to avoid comparisons between Elden Ring and Armored Core 6. The latter was originally planned to incorporate open-world elements. Unlike Sekiro and Elden Ring, Armored Core 6 focuses on evolving its mecha-piloting customization-based gameplay. Its distinct style revolves around building a powerful robot to tackle missions in fast-paced action, in contrast to the slower and more methodical approach of Elden Ring. However, it is worth noting that both games share this one commonality, which may please some fans.

Initial reactions to Armored Core 6 have been overwhelmingly positive, particularly among those who are new to FromSoftware's long-standing franchise. Despite the differences in gameplay mechanics between the Soulsborne games and this installment, there are numerous features that guarantee a profound and captivating gaming experience. With less than a week remaining until the official launch, players who have pre-ordered the game can choose to preload it several days ahead of its release.

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is scheduled to be released on August 25, 2023, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
