Do you need to play the previous Armored Core games to enjoy Fires of Rubicon? Here is a quick discussion on that!
Armored Core 6 is a major game that's attracting a wider audience, thanks to FromSoftware's success with other games like Elden Ring and Sekiro. These games have made FromSoftware more well-known to a larger group of players.
This has led to many new players wanting to try out the Armored Core series, even if they're not sure what to expect. One big question is whether playing the previous games is necessary before diving into Armored Core 6. Let's talk about whether you really need to play the earlier games.
Do You Have to Play the Previous Armored Core Games?
To make it simple: No, it's not necessary to play the previous games before starting Armored Core 6. Of course, if you do play the earlier titles, you'll get a feel for how the game works, know some core mechanics and items.
However, each of these games stands on its own in terms of story. They're not linked in any way. Plus, since Armored Core 6 is more mainstream, you'll find more guides and help on how to play the game. A lot of them here on EarlyGame (wink)
So having played the previous titles isn't a disadvantage, but it's not a big advantage either. If you want to play the previous Armored Core games, remember that they are from 2012 and prior, so from a graphics point of view nothing to by hyped about.
Hopefully this helped your decision-making. Just try it out if you want to. You know where to find some guides and news (wink again)
