South Korea has given Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon an official age grade. This means that the game can be reviewed in depth in the coming months, and its final release date can be set.
The age rating confirms that the game is appropriate for people over the age of 12. There are some violent parts, but they are not over the top. Since the age rating usually comes out a few months before the game comes out, we can expect it to come out in the summer or fall of this year.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon will be a reimagining of a long-dormant series from a Japanese studio. The game’s director, Masaru Yamamura, is best known for his work as the lead designer on Sekiro, but he says that the new game will show the true inspiration behind the studio’s Souls games.
In an exclusive chat with IGN, FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki said that the company “didn’t try to steer [Armored Core VI] toward gameplay like the Soulsborne games.” In other words, don’t think that Armored Core is just a sci-fi game with the same gameplay as Souls.
At The Game Awards 2022, it was reported that Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon would come out in 2023 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
