Never underestimate the insatiable appetite gamers have for giant robot battles. That appetite has propelled Armored Core 6 to the top spot on Steam’s global sales charts more than a decade after the last numbered entry in the series was released, knocking Baldur’s Gate 3 off the top spot.

In a summer filled with huge releases, few could have predicted that Armored Core 6 would be able to find such a large audience. The phenomenal success of last year’s Elden Ring certainly didn’t hurt. Speaking to GameIndustry.biz, Bandai Namco Europe CEO Arnaud Muller explained that Elden Ring has given FromSoftware a “guarantee of quality” among fans.

Who cares "thanks to Elden Ring" or not, as an Armored Core fan, I'm just happy for more Armored Core and for many players to give it a chance for the first time.

Been a long-time souls fan, but AC was before my time so I never got into it. Picked AC6 up last night and am having a blast so far!
