We've seen the Armored Core series pick up in releases lately, with the 5th installment last January, and now Namco-Bandai is getting ready to launch Armored Core Verdict Day this summer. The new game brings Operator Mode back and also allows you to transfer your save files from Armored Core V, including your previously-customized mechs which you can further trick out with the new game's arsenal of upgrades. Check out the press release after the jump for the full details.
ARMORED CORE: VERDICT DAY MARCHES THROUGH
NORTH AMERICA THIS SUMMER
Streamlined Multiplayer and Advanced Customization Options Lead the Charge in All-Out Mech Battle Action Title
SAN JOSE, Calif., (February 22, 2013) – Leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today announced that it will be bringing
ARMORED CORE: VERDICT DAY to PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft to the Americas during Summer 2013. The world has been thrown into chaos. Important natural resources needed for the survival of competing factions are scavenged and fought across the world with deadly Armored Core mechs. A strong trigger finger, innovative customization and strategic teamwork will be all that stand between survival and complete annihilation.
Renowned Japanese game developer FromSoftware returns to its hardcore mech action franchise with
ARMORED CORE: VERDICT DAY. Command a squadron of advanced Armored Core mechs in a dystopian future ravaged by war and stripped of natural resources. Players will form squads of up to 20 members and enlist into one of the various in-game factions to wrestle control of territories away from other players in the game’s persistent multiplayer mode. New gameplay features will be implemented into
ARMORED CORE: VERDICT DAY to ensure that players who choose to play alone will be able to recruit a squad of A.I. controlled mechs and enjoy the robust feature sets of co-op and multiplayer modes, while new matchmaking system ensures that players will always find battles at a moment’s notice.
Operator Mode returns to
ARMORED CORE: VERDICT DAY with new upgrades, allowing players to tactically command a full squad of Armored Core mechs from a tactical top-down point-of-view. Operators will be able to set rally points, mark targets and receive real-time in-cockpit views from other players and computer-controlled squad mates to achieve real-time strategic command of the battlefield.
ARMORED CORE: VERDICT DAY will allow fans of
ARMORED CORE V to carry over their save data to experience brand new content with their customized Armored Core from the previous title. Players will be able to further customize their Armored Core mechs with hundreds of parts ranging from guns, armor pieces, shields and boosters. The new robust customization options will help players synchronize their mech loadouts with teammates to deliver maximum destruction on the battlefield.
“The
ARMORED CORE series has continually found itself a deep and dedicated fanbase,” said Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing for NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. “
ARMORED CORE: VERDICT DAY expands the level of immersion with more advanced customization fine tuning and streamlined multiplayer modes.”
