Fires of RubiconThis is the first brand new Armored Core game in over a decade, and despite being developed by Fromsoftware, we’ve been assured that it’s not just Elden Ring with Mechs. If you’re looking forward to jumping into the most recent entry in the storied franchise, both physical and digital pre-orders are available from several retailers.

While retailers haven’t announced any exclusive pre-order bonuses, all pre-orders still get access to an exclusive customization option for the Melander C3 G13 “Tenderfoot”, an early unlock for the Melander C3 parts set, and an exclusive in-game AC decal and emblem.

Below, we’ve broken down all the available editions, the exclusive loot you’ll get with each one, and where you can find them.

Armored Core 6. Collector’s Edition

If you’re trying to get some physical loot with your copy of Armored Core 6, you’ll want to check out the $229.99 Collector’s Edition. In addition to the digital soundtrack you get with the Deluxe version, you’ll also get a Steelbook case, a set of four enamel pins, 45 stickers, and a 40-page hardcover art book. Armored Core is a 19 centimeter high figurine that’s actually the star. Sure, it could be bigger, but I’m not complaining.

Armored Core Premium Edition

It is the massive $449.99 premium edition of Armored Core 6. comes packaged with much of the same loot you get with the Collector’s Edition, but also includes an adorable 32-centimeter garage to park your new Armored Core figurine in when it needs a tune-up. I’m not sure the addition of the garage is really worth an extra $200+, but I’m not here to police anyone’s geeky expenditures.
