New Armored Core Game Not Designed for Everyone, According to Miyazaki

In a recent interview with Famitsu magazine, Armored Core series producer Kenichiro Miyazaki has announced that the upcoming installment of the franchise, Armored Core 6, will not be designed for everyone. Miyazaki stated that unlike Soulcalibur and Elden Ring, which are both accessible to all players regardless of skill level or experience, Armored Core 6 is intended to challenge even veteran players. Miyazaki’s comments have been met with disappointment from many fans of the series who had hoped that the new game would be more accessible than previous entries. While some fans are still excited for the game’s release later this year, others feel let down by Miyazaki’s announcement and worry that they may not be able to enjoy it as much as they had hoped. The decision to make Armored Core 6 more challenging than its predecessors has also caused concern among some members of the gaming community who fear that it could lead to an increase in difficulty across other games in the genre. With developers seemingly becoming more focused on catering to hardcore gamers rather than casual ones, many worry about what this could mean for accessibility in gaming overall. Armored Core 6 is set to launch later this year on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles but only time will tell if Miyazaki’s decision was a wise one or not. For now though, it seems like fans of the series may have their work cut out for them when trying to get into this new installment.
