FromSoftware returned to the Armored Core series after fifteen years with Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. It looks like the studio's gamble paid off as the latest installment becomes the best-selling game from the long-running mecha franchise.
Many were surprised at FromSoftware's decision to develop a Mecha-Action game series after spending the last decade and a half working on the Souls and Souls-like titles. Experts expected the studio would capitalize on the success of Elden Ring to launch another Souls-like title. However, it does seem that FromSoftware made the right call in releasing Armored Core 6 just a year after Elden Ring.
Fires of Rubicon voice actor Ryo Shimokawa revealed in a live stream that the recently released Armored Core 6 is now the best-selling game in the series. According to Shimokawa, "Armored Core 6 has sold 2.8 million copies worldwide."
Yasuyuki Kase, the voice actor for Rusty in Armored Core 6, shared additional information about the popularity of the game. The actor revealed during the livestream that the Japanese dubbing was also included in the global release. "The foreign version also includes Japanese audio, so it seems like there are people who can hear our voices," Yasuyuki said.
