Never underestimate the insatiable appetite gamers have for giant robot battles. That appetite has propelled Armored Core 6 to the top spot on Steam’s global sales charts more than a decade after the last numbered entry in the series was released, knocking Baldur’s Gate 3 off the top spot.

In a summer filled with huge releases, few could have predicted that Armored Core 6 would be able to find such a large audience. The phenomenal success of last year’s Elden Ring certainly didn’t hurt. Speaking to GameIndustry.biz, Bandai Namco Europe CEO Arnaud Muller explained that Elden Ring has given FromSoftware a “guarantee of quality” among fans.

"Guarantee of quality"... every time I read something like that now I have to think about the state that Cyberpunk was released in...

Has FromSoft ever released a bad game? Legitimate question.

Dark souls 2 was their cyberpunk 2077.

People were expecting better graphics, level design, and boss design on release.

Unpopular opinion obviously but I loved ds2, except for the poison spitting goddam statues and the level that was so dark you couldn't even see the goddam poison spitting statue before it spit goddam poison at you in the dark.
