Suspected armor core new work news leaked: boss battle added some soul flavor

A user named Red Liquorice on the resetera forum said that he participated in the closed research and demonstration of the new work in the armor core series, and watched a text introduction to the game, eight screenshots, and two videos (of course, the truth is unknown, so it is rumored).

The following is the information given by the user:

Story and Background:

Melange, an unknown substance that can greatly promote the progress of human society. In the past, this material caused a cosmic catastrophe on the planet Bashtar, devouring the surrounding star system and eventually annihilating its own existence.

Decades later, Melange's reaction was once again confirmed on the planet Bashtar. In search of this substance that is supposed to disappear, various parties are eager to move, such as governments, companies, cultists and unknown mercenaries, and the protagonist is one of them.

Game Description:

This is a TPS (Third Person Shooter) mech action game. You can move freely around the map, using firearms to face powerful enemies and fierce battles (whether long or close)

The sci-fi world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki:

A unique and profound sci-fi worldview from Fromsoftware, as well as a multi-dimensional story structure. The background is based on the planet Bashtar, a place destroyed by a worldwide scientific catastrophe, where only mechs can run rampant and highlight their presence.

A multi-layered, three-dimensional, vast world

In the massive map, you can feel the scale of the mecha universe. The wide variety of maps offers a series of challenging enemies and well-designed scenarios that are worth challenging again and again.

Intense combat, both melee and ranged

The game offers not only ranged combat based on guns, but also melee elements based on weapons such as swords and shields, deciding offensive or defensive tactics in intense and challenging battles with enemies.

Three-dimensional dynamic action

The three-dimensional and dynamic movements in the game are beyond human imitation, relying on the unique maneuverability of the mech, and you can move freely around the vast map.

High degree of customization freedom

Body parts and weapons can be reconfigured to upgrade your mech. With a high level of customization, you can build mechs that fit your style, from types that focus on close combat and mobility, to types that emphasize firepower to instantly destroy a large number of enemies.

The following is the author's description of the video and picture material he saw (he said that the reason why he could not publish directly was that there was a unique watermark on the material)

Video, a total of two segments, about 30 seconds each

The first video is Boss Battle, in a mechanical brown room where the player locks in from a distance to shoot and then close-quarters combat, with a familiar sense of speed and movement; the Boss and the player have a poor physique, but not particularly large, "I" tend to think of this as an early boss like the Undead or Minotaur Demon in Dark Souls; the Boss has a futuristic blood bar that looks like some sort of LED light.

The second video doesn't have any combat, just the player moving towards a wall in the snowy realm, following behind other mechs (unknown NPCs/players or enemies), which may have a circle-like effect that "identifies the target".

Screenshots, a total of eight:

1. In a snow scene, the player exchanges fire with the vehicle below (possibly a tank) in the air

2, the smoke is thick, there seems to be enemies in the distance

3. The gray-green hue area flashes the fire of weapons everywhere

4, or snow, on the scale of the team battle (suspected PVP)

5-8: It all looks like a boss battle

5. The player is faced with a larger white/gray humanoid mech with a red light on the ankles, shoulders, and back of the player's mech.

6. A giant tank-shaped boss

7. Difficult to recognize, the player seems to be on the right, and there is a humanoid mech on the left, the effect is similar to the player is attacking the enemy with a melee attack

8. There is a circular golden special effect in front of the player, which is a bit like a recovery miracle in the soul

The user also said that at the end of the survey, several options for the "armored core" new work logo were given, which seemed to have not yet officially decided on the name of the game.
