Aside from the Switch 2-exclusiveThe Duskbloods, FromSoftware is apparently working on another game. This one is meant to be multi-platform and not exclusive to any console, immediately eliminatingBloodborne 2. While various speculations already exist, I just hope FS delivers us a sequel to the fantasticArmored Core 6.
According to a Mp1st report, FromSoftware is “in the advanced stages of production on another, as-yet-unannounced project: a multiplatform game with the codenameFMC.” This game is being developed in parallel toThe Duskbloodsand additionalElden Ring: Nightreigncontent. Multi-project work is nothing new at FromSoftware, who tends to publish games every year or so.
FMCis also seemingly at such an advanced development stage that it should be playable “no later than next year,” indicating that we might even get an official announcement very soon.
Mp1st explains that only games in theDark SoulsandArmored Coreseries receive project codenames starting with the letter F. Ergo,FMCcould very well be either a newDark SoulsorArmored Coregame or even a spin-off or standalone expansion akin toNightreign,which has proven a successful endeavor for the company.
I would genuinely love forFMCto be a newArmored Coretitle.Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubiconis one of the best games ever made, with fantastic combat, overall gameplay, music, story, and themes. It revived a long-standing franchise by incorporating a new formula that shaped over a decade via FromSoftware’sSoulsgames, which could always be improved upon in a new entry.
Why I don’t think this will be a remaster ofDark Souls 3as some speculated is thatDark Souls Remasteredhad the FHD internal codename, and I’m certain that a proper remaster of other games in the series would carry a similar moniker.
But I could be wrong, as there are some pointers, old and new, that indicate aDS3remaster is on the way. I’d be a tad disappointed to see that instead ofAC7or a standalone sequel, but I’ll take anything I can get from the industry’s finest.
