There’s no doubt that the the Armored Core franchise is one of the most revered IPs within the incredibly niche mecha-third-person shooter genre. Its creators, Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware, have given us dozens of entries in the franchise that have managed to capture everyone’s attention. However, there’s a new challenger on the horizon, which is bringing something to the table that Miyazaki has outright failed to do with the Armored Core franchise.
Following the success of the Armored Core series, it was only a matter of time before another developer entered the realm of mech games. The Game Awards 2023 celebrated the debut of Amazing Seasun’s latest title, Mecha BREAK, which plans to take the mech genre to the next level with a Battle Royale twist. Players have been demanding a Battle Royale mode in the Armored Core series for ages, and someone else did it before Miyazaki and his team!
Armored Core Must Learn From Amazing Seasun’s Upcoming Mecha BREAK
Back in December 2023, Amazing Seasun unveiled its brand new mech-based multiplayer action title, Mecha BREAK. The game was announced alongside a trailer, which gave us a look at its fast-paced action. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC.
The title primarily focuses on a multiplayer co-op experience and brings a 3v3,6v6, and an incredible 48-player battle royale. The game’s battle royale mode has been a topic of discussion among gamers ever since we got our first view, as we’ve never seen the mecha genre experimenting with the popular mode. The narrative aspect of the upcoming title also promises intricate storytelling, diving into diverse plot points.
Mecha BREAK‘s fast-paced gameplay will give players many options for how they want to customize their mess. Right from battle-ax to a laser sword, players will have a range of weapons to choose from. Players will also be offered many exciting choices for their battle mechs, allowing them to select from melee, assault, sniper, support, and reconnaissance styles.
It’s already been confirmed that Mizayaki and his team are still considering another entry in the Armored Core franchise. Let’s hope they take their notes and learn from Mecha BREAK’s experiment with the fan-favorite Battle Royale genre.
Mecha BREAK’ Release Date Speculation
The idea of a mecha game that combines multiplayer action with Battle Royale elements has caused incredible hype among the gaming community! However, it seems like we’ll wait quite a bit for Mecha BREAK‘s global debut.
The developers still haven’t provided us with an official release for Mecha BREAK. The game featured a closed alpha, but that didn’t give us any information on the game’s release. Given the game’s polished appearance and early closed alpha, there’s a chance that Mecha BREAK could see a release in late 2024 or early 2025. Again, it’s all speculation, and we’ll likely get more details in the upcoming months.
