Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon, the new entry in the series created by FromSoftware announced last year, has been recently rated in South Korea, suggesting some kind of reveal, possibly a release date announcement, is imminent.
As spotted by Gematsu, the upcoming game by FromSoftware was rated suitable for 12 years old players and above today. Unfortunately, the rating doesn’t reveal anything new about the next entry in the series, but the fact that it has been rated bodes well for the announced 2023 release window.

With Summer Game Fest coming up, it is likely we are going to learn more about Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon soon. According to rumors circulating online, the game will release between September and October 2023, and before the Elden Ring expansion Shadow of the Erdtree.
No matter when it releases, those who have come to know and love FromSoftware with the Souls series shouldn’t expect Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon to be a Soulslike game. While the experience will be challenging and will retain some small elements of the Souls games as they are part of FromSoftware’s design philosophy, it will focus on the features that define the series, such as mech-building and customization and intense battles. Still, it will be interesting how much the experience will benefit from what From learned with the Souls series, as the previous entry in the series, Armored Core V, was released before the Dark Souls series became the smashing success that it is today.
Armored Core VI Fires Of Rubicon launches sometime this year on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One. We will keep you updated on the game’s release date as soon as it is announced, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
