Never underestimate the insatiable appetite gamers have for giant robot battles. That appetite has propelled Armored Core 6 to the top spot on Steam’s global sales charts more than a decade after the last numbered entry in the series was released, knocking Baldur’s Gate 3 off the top spot.
In a summer filled with huge releases, few could have predicted that Armored Core 6 would be able to find such a large audience. The phenomenal success of last year’s Elden Ring certainly didn’t hurt. Speaking to GameIndustry.biz, Bandai Namco Europe CEO Arnaud Muller explained that Elden Ring has given FromSoftware a “guarantee of quality” among fans.
I’m just glad armored core is FINALLY selling as many copies as the franchise deserves. Armored core is far too good to stay a cult classic, and I’m beyond excited about potential remasters.
I have played a few AC games (2, 3 and 4 maybe?) on PS2 and loved it. I’m so glad I get to enjoy an AC again!
