From 120 FPS Support to Ray Tracing: Armored Core VI Gameplay Preview Reveals Many Key Details

After FromSoftware’s Elden Ring became Game of the Year in 2022, fans have high expectations from the studio. Naturally, those expectations land on their upcoming title Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. Furthermore, the title is the sixth entry of the Armored Core series returning after the long hiatus from 2013.

Some fans were skeptical about whether the mech-series will be able to gain traction returning almost after 10 years. However, the recent gameplay preview of this title has amped up the fans, to say the least. They are now calling it one of the best upcoming titles of the studio so far.

Armored Core VI gameplay preview comes bearing many gifts for the fans

Armored Core VI has dropped a 13-minute gameplay preview presenting some of the key details. One of the things that stood out for the fans was the 120 FPS support for PC. The upcoming mech title will be the first game from the studio to support 120 FPS gameplay. Furthermore, fans can also turn on ray tracing with in-game options.

The gameplay of this title is reported to be between 50-60 hours in full exploration mode. However, looking at the track record of FromSoftware, fans are expecting more gameplay duration. The environment will be much larger, with an option for players to explore the world vertically too. Furthermore, players will be able to customize the feel of their mech according to their choices.

FromSoftware is also turning the difficulty level up as the enemies will get more aggressive as their health drops. On the other hand, players will be able to earn permanent upgrades in Arena mode. And if the players don’t like their current loadout, they will be able to change them mid-battle with the help of Armory Stations.
