FromSoftware has done it again, combining the chaos of battle with customization strategy in Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. On Black Friday, you can buy the game for PS5 or Xbox on Amazon and Best buy at only $19.99down from the regular price of $59.99. That’s $40 off a game that puts you in the pilot’s seat of a customizable mech and takes part in some of the most intense action of the year.
Drawing on the knowledge gained from Dark Souls and Elden Ring, Armored Core VI offers lively gameplay that combines 3D maneuverability with a mix of ranged and melee combat. It’s as if they took FromSoftware’s signature challenge and unleashed explosive mech mayhem, because why not?
The game’s plot takes you to Rubicon 3, a contaminated wasteland where corporations and resistance groups engage in a brutal battle for control of a mysterious, catastrophic energy source. As a mercenary caught in the middle of the action, your task is to equip your mech with the perfect cargo and undertake missions that require cunning, brawn and a bit of button-pushing finesse.
Armored Core VI isn’t just about blowing things up (although there’s plenty of that). Customization options allow you to create a mech that reflects your playstyle, whether it’s precision strikes from afar or carnage up close. Add a visually stunning world and epic boss battles and you have a recipe for hours of adrenaline-filled fun. Let’s not forget that Armored Core is basically the Soulsborne franchise but with mechs, so get good!
If you’ve been wanting to join the mech party, now’s your chance. For $19.99, you not only save $40, but you get a ticket to one of the most stimulating games in its genre. Don’t wait too long though. Black Friday deals disappear faster than a mech dodging enemy fire.
