Bandai Namco: Elden Ring success will "truly widen" Armored Core 6's audience

The real reason why they dedicated so much time and effort into making ER one of the best RPGs this decade... To elevate their beloved AC. Truly a noble pursuit.
I’m inclined to agree. Many folks saw Elden Ring and its hype/critical acclaim, and they’ll look to AC6 next. Of course, I’m already seeing folks that are playing it and saying its not for them via Steam Reviews. So double edged sword I guess. It’ll bring new players in, but some may have bought solely on the hype, expecting something like Elden Ring but sci fi. Personally, I just like Armored Core and mechs.
- I had zero expectations going into AC6, having never played one before and only discovering FromSoft in the past 3 years, but I love this game. I feel like I'm 13 years old playing PS2 Gundam games again
  
  If you're enjoying it, I would recommend checking out the rest of the series too. They all emulate well enough, except the PS2 games but they have PSP ports that emulate almost perfectly. The PS3 games might still be purchasable.
- Yeah we need to become better to calm ourselves on new game releases and ask ourselves if it's for me. Hype only serves publishers, hence they are so good at creating it.
