Developer FromSoftware is back at it again. The company recently announced a release date for its newest title, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. The title is a reboot of the franchise that originally launched in 1997. In it, players will take control of mecha robots and plow their way through a new story and a new planet for the franchise.
In addition to announcing a release date for Armored Core 6, FromSoftware also revealed some of the game’s editions. Two editions, the Premium Edition and the Collector’s Edition, have caught players’ eyes thus far since they are quite expensive. But players should see the contents of both editions before they decide if they want to spend the extra money.
Below, you can see the price and contents of the Premium and Collector’s Editions for Armored Core 6.
Armored Core 6 Premium and Collector’s Editions
The base edition for Armored Core 6 will seemingly only cost $60, which is considered cheaper than other modern AAA titles. But the same can’t be said for either the Premium or Collector’s Edition of the game.
Both of these editions exceed $200, with the Premium Edition costing nearly double what the Collector’s Edition does. The Collector’s Edition will cost players $229 while the Premium Edition costs a whopping $449. That is one of the more expensive editions of a video game in recent memory, and players obviously want to know exactly what comes with it.
