The developer says it’s building on and fine-tuning the franchise’s familiar customization. “Say you activate Assault Boost to make your approach while using machine gun fire and a missile salvo to stagger the enemy, then use your pulse blade to score a direct melee hit once you’re up close.” “Assault Boost is an offensive action that helps close the gap between enemies and lets you quickly go from long distance to close range,” Yamamura said. New gameplay features include the new Assault Boost, a button-triggered skill that lets you instantly switch between long-range shooting and melee. Having previously been turned to ash by a massive disaster (thanks to Coral), Rubicon is a world of “hollowed-out industrial ruins” only barely concealed beneath a corporate “shiny shell of state-of-the-art mining constructs encasing the planet.” Whether the game flies or not, that’s a fun premise with plenty of opportunities for staggering set pieces (which you can see in the trailer) and real-world metaphors with present-day relevance.īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy. “What we are aiming to create with AC6,” game director Masaru Yamamura told Xbox Wire, “is a new mech action game as a product of what the current day FromSoftware can output.”Īrmored Core VI’s story is set on the planet Rubicon, where a precious but dangerous resource called Coral is discovered.
