A new rumor surrounding Armored Core VI is going around suggesting that the game will be released before the Elden Ring DLC drops, but it’s clear that we need the original Armored Core games re-released before that.
The reason behind this is that demand for the original Armored Core games are at an all time high, with prices going through the roof for newer players trying to get into the series.
While I have played and finished every game in the Armored Core series, there are a whole new generation of gamers that aren’t fully familiar with what the Armored Core games are about.
That aside, while this release rumor for Armored Core VI isn’t exactly what I would call “legit”, it does make sense.
After all, the last Armored Core game was released back in 2013 and if you are bringing out a new numbered entry in the series, you don’t want it buried by Elden Ring DLC.
Considering the massive and overwhelmingly positive response to the reveal of Armored Core VI back in December of last year, it’s clear that there is a real opportunity here for the series to actually thrive.
So the rumor may be sketchy in terms of its sources, but it is logical and even likely.
I just hope before that, we get some kind of re-release for some or even all of the old Armored Core games, at least so that the current scalpers can be countered and newer players can get to grips with the series before the new game comes out.
