Armored Core: Verdict Day News: Namco Bandai release the newest iteration of the Armored Core series today on current gen consoles.
Armored Core: Verdict Day is now available on the Xbox 360 and PS3 according to Namco Bandai. In this latest entry in to the Armored Core series the world has been thrown into chaos. Important natural resources needed for survival of competing factions are scavenged and fought across the world with deadly Armored Core units. A strong trigger finger, innovative customization and strategic teamwork will be all that stand between survival and complete annihilation.
You will be able to command a squadron of advanced Armored Core units in a dystopian future ravaged by war and stripped of natural resources. Players will form squads of up to 20 members and enlist into one of the various in-game factions to wrestle control of territories away from other players in the game’s persistent multiplayer mode. New gameplay features have been implemented to ensure that players who choose to play alone will be able to recruit a squad of A.I. controlled Armored Core units and enjoy the robust feature sets of co-op and multiplayer modes, while a new matchmaking system ensures that players will always find battles at a moment’s notice.
Operator Mode returns to Armored Core: Verdict Day with new upgrades, allowing players to tactically command a full squad of Armored Core units from a tactical top-down point of view. Operators will be able to set rally points, mark targets and receive real-time in cockpit views from other players and computer controlled squad mates to achieve real time strategic command of the battlefield.
Armored Core: Verdict Day will allow fans of Armored Core V to carry over the save data to experience brand new content with their customized Armored Core from the previous title. Players will be able to further customize their Armored Core units with hundreds of parts ranging from guns, armor pieces, shields and boosters. The new robust customization options will help players synchronize their Armored Core unit loadouts with teammates to deliver maximum destruction on the battlefield.
