Giant robots aren’t just for fighting! They can also be used for… construction work! And… complex song & dance routines!
As we predicted, but not as From Software planned, the countdown clock that launched last week gets its reveal in this week’s Famitsu — on newsstands this Friday, leaked on the internet right now.
Xbox Japan has announced three more titles joining its budget “Platinum Collection” line: Armored Core for Answer, Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom and Virtua Fighter 5: Live Arena. Each game is priced at ¥2,940 ($50) and will be out next January.
The US is getting Armored Core For Answer next Tuesday. Japan has had it since March so I figure it’s about time the States had a turn. Ignore the strange subtitle because the game just keeps looking better and better. So what do we have? Well, we got a new trailer showing off the new co-op mode!
Publisher Ubisoft may be taking a chance on another Japanese niche title, as its future publishing schedule lists the terribly named Armored Core: for Answer for a release this year. As part of its second financial quarter, which runs July to September, Ubi plans to bring the sequel to Armored Core 4 — published outside of Japan by Sega — to Western markets.
Armored Core: for Answer has been available to Japanese gamers since March, but we’ve heard little about its chances domestically since then. We’ve also heard little in the way of rabid interest.
Don’t worry, Ubi fans. They’ll still be releasing six titles under the Imagine brand and two under the Petz brand during the same time frame. This giant robot sim won’t upset the balance of its line up by a noticeable degree.
