The future of the popular Armored Core franchise is looking bright as FromSoftware - the renowned publisher, reveals ambitious plans for further development. The company, known for its quality games like Dark Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, has hinted that the Armored Core series isn't ready to meet its end just yet.
FromSoftware's head, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has given hope to fans who were worried about the future of Armored Core. In an interview with IGN, the leader of FromSoftware affirmed they would not allow the unfinished business in the Armored Core series to be left unattended. This revelation could even indicate that the team is already working on a new Armored Core installment.
FromSoftware's decision not to abandon the Armored Core franchise aligns with the kind of success other similar games have witnessed in the market. However, the publisher has not shared further details about the new game or its possible upcoming features which leaves fans eagerly anticipating more news.
The Armored Core franchise, a celebration of strategic and futuristic mech-battles, has been dormant since its last release – Armored Core: Verdict Day in 2013. The series has evolved drastically since the initial launch in 1997, growing into a complex game that combines elements of strategy, action, and role-playing genres. Focusing on customizable mecha, or "Armored Cores," the games have provided players with diverse options for firepower, defense, and tactical maneuvers.
FromSoftware's commitment to revive the franchise puts a lot of expectations on their shoulders, as fans hope that the developer will create a game that lives up to its well-established reputation for quality and depth. There’s no doubt that waiting for official news about the new iteration installments will be hard for many fans, but given FromSoftware's history, the likely outcome is a game worth the wait.
