With how Armored Core portrays the world as worse off after every game. I honestly wonder how fucked things are now in 6. It may have gotten to the point where its isn't even corporations in slap fights anymore. But desperate remnants struggling for what little is left. Its been years since I played so I might be misremembering the tone.

Armored Core did a reset with 5, so it's unknown is 6 will be its own thing, continue from 5/VD, or continue from the 4/4A main continuity.

You remember the tone pretty well, by the way, just, it's less desperate remnants struggling for what little is left and more the last few megacapitalistic gigacorporations fighting for what little is left and that isn't theirs yet. By the time of 4A, Kojima particles have wrecked the absolute shit out of Earth, the Cradles (where those well-off live) are only a temporary stop gap, as pollution has gotten so bad it will eventually, and sooner than later, affect them as well, and without the resistance to pollution that surface dwellers have in comparison to Cradle dwellers, they'll be dead in seconds (or YOU shot them down already with your own hands, if you sided with Old King, killing 100 million people in honest to god gameplay), so recovering space travel seems to be the only viable option for the survival of humanity, but plenty of events led to humanity, who stretched far across the Solar System, to regress back to Earth, including but not limited to the events at the end of AC: Nexus, in which countless Pulverizers (unnamed superweapons) are accidentally reactivated by Kisaragi and devastate the absolute shit out of other planets, and going to space means going back to them.

So Shit's Fucked!

And my new commission just came in! This time for a Lunar assassin who murdered the Assassin order she was part of. Not because she wanted to leave, but how they couldn’t keep up and were holding her back.
