FromSoftware’s ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON is now available to play on PS5|PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam in many regions, and Bandai Namco is celebrating the launch of the Elden Ring developer’s latest game with a new live-action trailer that stars actor Karl Urban. Urban, whose recent roles include Billy Butcher in The Boys, gives a pep talk to the player as some of the game’s action-packed sequences play out, and while there’s no real indication here as to whether Urban has actually played the game, there’s a separate Overview trailer that’s also available for viewing, offering insight on the new ARMORED CORE’s combat, customization, locale, and more. A Deluxe Version of ARMORED CORE VI is available for $69.99, but the only difference seems to be the inclusion of a digital artbook and soundtrack.

In ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON, players take on the role of an augmented human pilot optimized to command a weaponized mech known as an Armored Core. After infiltrating Rubicon-3 as an independent mercenary, they must quickly learn the rules of combat and survival in a brutally hostile environment. The “Overview Trailer” is the pre-mission briefing they will need, with sections covering story, combat techniques, customization, and mission structure.

Featuring signature FromSoftware action, ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON will challenge players at every turn with epic battles and unforgettable boss fights, and the “Overview Trailer” gives a glimpse of what they can expect. Prepare for intense, fast-paced omnidirectional battles that require fighting on the ground and in the air. Learn how staggering enemies is key to bring down their Attitude Control System and deal the greatest damage. Optimize your mechs at the Assembly to deal with each difficult situation to ensure the greatest chance of success. Design custom Armored Cores that include a broad range of aesthetic choices, creating unique mechs that can be shared with other players.
