How Long to Beat Armored Core 6
In an interview with Gamebase, director Yu Yamamura said thatArmored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon’s campaign would take approximately 20 hours to complete. It’s worth noting that this only includes one playthrough of the game’s story, and fans are expecting a lot of replayability with this title. More time will likely be spent customizing mechs, replaying missions, and repeating the campaign to try andseeArmored Core 6’s multiple endings. That will most certainly drive up the play time beyond that 20-hour mark.
Naturally, players who want to 100% the game and go after every trophy/achievement inArmored Core 6: Fires of Rubiconwill spend even longer with the game. The general consensus among reviewers is that earning all trophies will take around 50 hours of gameplay. This is mostly due to “The Perfect Mercenary”, a trophy that requires players to attain S-Rank on every single mission in the game. With 50 missions of varying difficulty, it’s no surprise that this would take a while.SkilledArmored Coreplayerswill likely be able to accomplish this in less than 50 hours, and beginners may take a bit longer.
