The developer FromSoftware has been on a roll lately. Their latest Souls-like adventure Elden Ring has amassed a staggering 25 million sales milestone with its recently released DLC Shadow of the Erdtree hitting over 5 million in under a week. When you compare Armored Core VI to the sales of Elden Ring, it seems that the mech game didn’t do very well. As this title is niche and appeals to those who love mechs, it should be considered a success. There is a question whether or notFromSoftware’s prestigious historyaffected how Armored Core VI sold as well; the sixth entry was probably a lot of fans' first try with the mech series.
