Over the years, FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki has said on multiple occasions that a new game in the mech series is in the works, but one has never actually materialized.
Long ago, Melange “caused a cosmic catastrophe” that destroyed the planet of Bashtar, as well as the surrounding star systems.
That said, it has been ten years since the last mainline game in the series launched, so an Armored Core 6 is long overdue at this point.
Now, with Melange activity being reported on the planet once again, competing factions are rushing to Bashtar’s remains, including governments, cults, mercenaries, and corporations.
