From Software Says Armored Core Ain't Done Yet

With them wrapping up with Souls I was expecting them to come back to this series.

I had become pretty convinced that with all the Bloodborne assets being found and PSX round the corner that we could expect a follow up. Still, this could be interesting if it is Armoured Core reboot.

I think with the power we have in our consoles, a Mech game could and perhaps should be made for this generation. The closest we have right now is Titanfall (I think).

I would love an open-world RPG Mech game rather than a more linear Single Player. The Mechs themselves have a lot of potential for that RPG style upgrade path and a world with side quests - not just go here and kill some 'enemies/boss' but some with great story value. I guess that may mean some 'human/pilot' aspect to the game adding something more than just the 'mechs'. Different factions in the world could lead to different upgrade paths and parts - maybe even a different outcome to the story.

I don't know if gaming has outgrown the format of previous mech games and the last Armoured Core game had a very lacklustre campaign. It was elevated a bit by having the ability to play co-operatively but it seemed more focused on MP. I guess they could go the Destiny route - maybe not necessarily always online but having a connected MP rather than a separate mode, and a big open world playground (maybe more like Horizon:ZD in the way the story was delivered) that allows you to explore as you want, complete side quests, missions, maybe some 'trials', join up with factions etc etc. Essentially giving you reasons to spend time in the world long after completing the story.

Either way though, it would be great to see Mech games return...

JUST MAKE BLOODBORNE 2 FFS

Honestly at this point I'd take anything. Just want to know what they're working on and when I can play it! More Bloodborne or Armored Core would be awesome, but I'd also quite like to see them try something different. Or failing that, I'd also love to see a sci-fi Soulsborne game that mashes together industrial sci-fi aesthetics from the likes of Alien, Bladerunner, Akira and Soma.

First I've heard they are making this, very happy, I do very much enjoy some Armored Core. Still remember the first game on PSone, good times.

God yes plz, but with a desent syories and some characters we can actually see and get attached to. Or at least get attached to. Also bring back the mercanry elements from last 2 games

@BAMozzy they should hire u ! I eould def play a game like that!

Don't forget about Demon's Souls, still is one of the best games made by From Software.

I never played Armored Core, but i really like the settings, would love to finally play a game of the series.
But please, don't forget about Bloodborne 2 or maybe Demon's Souls 2 as well.

@PS_Nation Not likely on Demon's Souls at this point. Ball is in Sony's court on that anyway as they own the ip, same as Bloodborne.

@BAMozzy open world rpg mech game is a fantastic idea.
