“Elden Ring director and designer for FromSoftware Hidetaka Miyazaki has said that he’ll be stepping back from the development of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. In a recent interview with IGN he expressed his desire to approach the series as a fan instead of a developer.
Rather than continuing his role as a lead designer as many expected, Miyazaki told IGN he plans to hand the reins to Masaru Yamamura. Yamamura is known for his role as the creative director of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a Soulsborne style game set in a fantasized historical Japan.
The Armored Core franchise is FromSoftware’s older but lesser known franchise compared to the “Soulsborne” series which includes the likes of Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Bloodborne. The franchise began in 1997 on the original PlayStation and enjoyed an era of rapid releases with over 20 games, expansions, and DLC packs in less than 20 years.”
