The popularity of Elden Ring will help Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon sell well, Bandai Namco is sure. The company expects that the mecha-action will attract a lot more players than the previous parts of the series.
Nevertheless, Bandai Namco does not expect Armored Core VI to repeat the success of Elden Ring. Recall that by March 31, 2023, Elden Ring sold 20.5 million copies. At that time, a little more than a year had passed since the release of the game.
Armored Core VI will be released tomorrow on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Judging by the first estimates of critics, the game was a success. Now its PC and PlayStation versions have 87 points out of 100 on Metacritic, and the Xbox version has 79 points.
