From Software shows off some of the mech-based destruction from the upcoming sequel.
Armored Core V has a pretty light footprint here in the U.S. in advance of its 2012 release. Sega is publishing the From Software-developed mech combat game in Japan, while Namco Bandai is handling its release here in the States, the latest reboot in the series doesn't have much in the way of a web presence or even an official release date (a Wikipedia entry claiming that it's coming in January seems highly doubtful). Still, we have some new stills from the revitalized mech action series below, showing off some of the mech-on-vehicle action.
Here's a synopsis from the game's official page on the Namco Bandai site.
The ARMORED CORE® series is renowned in the mech action genre for its intense one-on-one battles and customization options. ARMORED CORE V is a new entry that revolutionizes the series with more content than the previous games, a completely new atmosphere, and a robust offline mode. In addition, the online mode has been newly designed to focus on huge team-based battles on a global scale.
Featuring mechs or “Armored Cores” that are smaller in scale than in previous games, ARMORED CORE V centers more on tactics and effectively utilizing the geography of a level rather than just relying on attacks.
Armored Core V will be released sometime in 2012 for the PS3 and 360.
