Hope: Armored Core VI gets an expansion
I have no insider knowledge to base this on, but I can’t imagine FromSoftware decided to ship the first Armored Core in a decade without cooking up some expanded content. We’ve gotten plenty of balance patches and smaller updates adding new features and equipment, but there’s plenty of room to add some full-blown missions or an entirely new campaign. Armored Core IV was just so good and I’m ready for more.
It would also be in keeping with the series’ history to release a spin-off or direct sequel within the first two years of the previous game’s launch. Am I grasping at straws here? Yes. But hey, the Elden Ring Erdtree DLC took forever. Maybe that’s partly because some folks were still working on Armored Core. I know the game didn’t seem to sell as much as the studio hoped, but the only way to win over more fans is with more mech battles. It’s time to return to Rubicon. — Ethan Gach
