The PS Blog post goes into much more detail on how the game plays, stating that fans can look forward too the “smooth, responsive controls they’ve come to expect in FromSoftware’s games is still here — just in a different context.”
In terms of narrative, Armored Core VI takes place on the planet Rubicon, which is home to a powerful energy source known as the Coral. This material is highly volatile, and has resulted in a huge disaster that has reduced nearly all of the planet to ash. Despite this, mega corporations still wage war over this valuable resource.
Maseru Yamamura, the game’s director, commented:
It’s an intricate and multi-layered world, brimming with mega-structures and enormous underground facilities built by its former inhabitants. These structures cover a planetary surface wracked with extreme cold and contamination in the aftermath of the great disaster, and the player will be exploring these various environments as they proceed.
