Watch: Armored Core 5 trailer has small mechs, huge weapons

Aside from the smaller ACs, From Software is also throwing in more detailed and complex stages, new weapons, more realistic parts designs, and more robust mission stories with multiple objectives.

Armored Core 5 is slated for release this year in Japan. Nothing’s been said about an overseas release yet, but we’re confident it’ll end up here sooner or later. In the meantime, there’s always the portable Armored Core games.
