It has been over 10 years since the last Armored Core game came out. In the time between Armored Core V and VI, there have been 2 console generations, and FromSoftware has released Dark Souls II, Dark Souls III, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. Plus, each of those games were massive successes for the studio and ushered in an entirely new genre of game. With the massive popularity of the Soulsborne games, it is easy to forget that FromSoftware also made, arguably, the king of the mech-combat games. Long before Dark Souls or even Demon's Souls, Armored Core was FromSoftware's bread and butter.
