Another pilot, 621, is laid out on a table, all kinds of nasty sci-fi medical equipment surrounding them. "Well, at least you're helping me clear my inventory," says an unnamed voice.
There are some actual narrative details to be gleaned here-a squad of pilots with numbers rather than names (617, 619) die while assaulting an enormous cannon emplacement. It's a cinematic, reminiscent of the elaborate sequences that open all of FromSoftware's Souls games-not gameplay or even an in-engine cutscene, but a tone-setter for what we'll be playing on August 25. The three-and-a-half-minute Armored Core 6 "story trailer" Bandai Namco released today is a thinly disguised excuse to show its mechs are still hella cool. Everything sucks except the mechs, which are hella cool.
The Earth has been ravaged, or is on the brink of a ravaging. The world is run by quarreling mega corporations. The story of the Armored Core series has been rebooted at least three times in 25 years, but the premise has never varied much from some core themes.
