The Dark Souls developer appears to be readying a new mech action game

Dark Souls and Bloodborne developer FromSoftware used to be known primarily for its work on the Armored Core series, the mech-action franchise that once saw multiple releases per year on PlayStation platforms. But From hasn’t released a new Armored Core game since 2013, when Armored Core: Verdict Day hit PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

That will apparently change soon, based on leaked, unconfirmed details about the next Armored Core game posted by a member of the ResetEra forums who says they saw images and early gameplay video of the unannounced sequel as part of a consumer survey.

According to that poster, the survey included details about the new Armored Core’s setting and story, which center around “an unknown substance” called Melange “that could dramatically advance human society.” A supposed story description reads:

In the past, this substance caused a cosmic catastrophe on planet Bashtar that engulfed the surrounding star systems, and eventually its very existence was lost. Decades later, the Melange reaction was confirmed again on planet Bashtar. In search the unknown substance that should have been lost, various speculations began to swirl. Various parties are getting involved; the government, corporations, cultists, and known mercenaries … The protagonist is one of them.
The copy continues, describing the new Armored Core as a “third-person shooter mecha action title that lets you move around an overwhelmingly scaled map that represents a unique sci-fi world with dynamic mech action.” Players will supposedly face challenging enemies and “fierce battles both long and short range using guns and blades.”


Images (which are heavily watermarked) posted by ResetEra member Red Liquorice show desolate cities, ruined buildings, and other bleak-looking environments where a variety of mech types are doing battle. The rumored description of the new Armored Core promises a “high level of customization,” letting players build a mech to suit their play style — as previous Armored Core games have done.

FromSoftware president and Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki confirmed in a 2017 interview with IGN that the developer was working on a new Armored Core game alongside two other titles (the other two appear to have been Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and VR game Déraciné, which were unannounced at the time). Also in 2017, sci-fi writer Ty Franck, half of the writing team that publishes The Expanse novels under the pen name James S.A. Corey, said that he had worked with FromSoftware on a secret project. Given FromSoftware’s notable collaboration with George R.R. Martin for Elden Ring, a similar partnership for an Armored Core reboot of sorts would make sense.

It’s unclear who would be publishing the new Armored Core, but given FromSoft’s relationship with Bandai Namco (which published Armored Core 5 and Armored Core: Verdict Day outside of Japan), that company seems a likely fit.

FromSoftware’s next game, Elden Ring, will be released Feb. 25 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.

Watching films is one of my favorite past times but the ability to write properly has always been a goal of mine. Many times, I'd visit websites like https://www.trustmypaper.com/ to get the best expert to help me. As I continued to read, I saw that my own writing had improved. I'm confident I'll like this book since I'm a fan of the subject matter.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    "All of this lends the game distinctly last-gen look at times, which is compounded by image quality and frame-rate issues."

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
