FromSoftware‘s “launched” the official website for Armored Core 5. We say “launched” because although January 14th has come, it’s really only been updated with an image, leading us to wait even longer. Although thanks to Famitsu, we have some of the first details on the upcoming mech sequel.
Slated for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Armored Core 5 will feature a more dramatic and expanded story from previous games, including levels more details and larger in size. Mechs are smaller in the fifth installment, scaling down from about ten meters to only five, and will use tactical terrain and buildings in their fight. The game’s been in development for two years and is only 20% complete, which may signify that a lot of work is being put into the game.
Hopefully, first public screens will come before the week closes. As for now, Famitsu’s got low-res images through the link.
