A new story trailer for the forthcoming game Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is out today.

In the trailer, which can be seen below, follows Walter’s Hounds going through with their mission and showcases a deeper look at what events leads up to the beginning of the game.

A synopsis for the game reads:

A mysterious new substance was discovered on the remote planet, Rubicon 3. As an energy source, this substance was expected to dramatically advance humanity’s technological and communications capabilities. Instead, this substance caused a catastrophe that engulfed the planet and the surrounding stars in flames and storms, forming a Burning Star System.

Almost half a century later, the same substance resurfaced on Rubicon 3, a planet now contaminated and sealed off by the catastrophe.

Extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups fight over control of the substance. The player infiltrates Rubicon 3 as an independent mercenary and finds themselves in a struggle over the substance with the corporations and other factions.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon will be released on August 25 via the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. The game will support PlayStation Free Upgrades and Xbox Smart Delivery. Pre-orders for the game can be made here. All pre-orders will include the Melander C3 G13 Special Customization "Tenderfoot".

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is the follow-up to 2013’s Armored Core: Verdict Day.
