With no re-releases of any Armored Core on modern platforms, this situation will remain for the foreseeable future. The only silver lining here is that Armored Core: Verdict Day can be purchased digitally on the Xbox 360 for around $20. Owning the right old console for a given title is also a prerequisite. Some prices can even stretch beyond $200, which isn't worth paying when one just wants to check if the franchise is for them. Now, prospective fans would be hard-pressed to find these games on sale for less than 100 US dollars. Almost every Armored Core did not see many physical English copies printed, so prices were already high before Armored Core 6 was announced. RELATED: FromSoftware's Armored Core Franchise Explained The Cost of Entering Armored Core Nowĭiscussing the worth of past Armored Core games can't be done without first covering the literal cost of acquiring them. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done, and there are a lot of factors to consider when one wishes to play older Armored Core titles in modern times. With this line of thinking, it's not hard to imagine that prospective buyers will want to prepare themselves with earlier AC games. Even if a mecha game isn't going to drive the same interest and sales as a new Souls-like, people are going to want to get their hands on it regardless. FromSoftware is a powerful name in the gaming industry right now, with Elden Ring taking home plenty of awards. It isn't unreasonable to never have even heard of Armored Core before AC6's leaks or announcement.Īt any rate, a new Armored Core is on the way, and many fresh eyes have fallen on the franchise. The Armored Core franchise only had a cult following in North America, and has been absent for almost a decade.
While that pedigree alone has put a lot of hype behind Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, many more viewers were confused by the game's appearance.
The mech-piloting franchise exploded back onto the scene at the 2022 Game Awards, being revealed as Dark Souls and Elden Ring developer FromSoftware's next project.
Right now, interest in the Armored Core series is at an all-time high.
