Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon Now 50% Off

Before the days of Dark Souls and Elden Ring, From Software was widely recognized for its Armored Core series. Currently, you can take advantage of the latest installment in this challenging action series at its lowest price yet. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon has just received a 50% discount at both Walmart and Amazon, bringing the price down from $60 to $30. While Armored Core 6 has seen discounts in the past, it typically sells out quickly. With the money you save, you may even want to consider investing in the official hardcover strategy guide for Armored Core 6.

This deal is applicable to both the PS5 and Xbox Series X (as well as Xbox One) versions of the game. Amazon is matching Walmart’s deal, although only the PS5 version is currently available. Depending on your location, Walmart may not offer delivery options, but you can always opt to order online and pick up your purchase from a local store.

For those unfamiliar with the series, Armored Core steps away from the traditional swords and sorcery found in other From Software games, instead delving into a sci-fi world of mechanized warfare. What really sets this game apart is its focus on customization, allowing players to fine-tune various aspects of their warsuit, known as the armored core, for optimal battle performance. Drawing inspiration from other From Software titles like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, as well as incorporating the epic boss fights synonymous with games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, Armored Core 6 offers a unique gaming experience.

To assist players in their journey, the Armored 6 Pilot’s Manual is available on Amazon. This official hardcover strategy guide comprises 432 pages filled with enemy intel, mission mastery tips, and guidance on crafting the perfect mech for every encounter. Released last year after a significant hiatus, Fires of Rubicon received positive reviews from players and critics alike.

“Armored Core VI marks a fresh start for the beloved series. It remains true to From Software’s original vision while enhancing the overall experience for both long-time fans and newcomers,” noted Richard Wakeling in GameSpot’s review of Armored Core 6. “Although the storyline may fall short and some initial challenges may arise due to its unbalanced approach, these minor flaws quickly fade as you immerse yourself in the thrill of customizing your mech, evading enemy attacks, and unleashing a variety of powerful weaponry.”
