New Game+ Explained — Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon Guide

Confused about New Game+ in Armored Core VI? We'll break down what carries over, what changes, and how to get the most out of your second playthrough.

So, you've beaten Armored Core VI and are wondering what's next? That's where New Game+ comes in! It's basically your chance to dive back into the action with some of your progress intact, but with a fresh challenge. Think of it as a victory lap that still makes you work for it.

When you start a New Game+ playthrough, you'll keep your Raven's Registry, which means all the AC parts you've unlocked and purchased are still yours. This is huge because you can immediately start experimenting with different builds or stick with your tried-and-true favorites from the get-go. Your Rubiconian Support Platform (R.S.P.) and your combat logs also carry over, so you'll have a clear record of your accomplishments.

However, don't expect everything to be the same. The missions themselves will reset, and you'll have to play through the story again. But here's the cool part: some missions will have new objectives, tougher enemies, or even entirely different encounters. This keeps things fresh and gives you a reason to pay attention even if you know the story beats. Plus, you'll get another shot at earning those S-ranks and finding any secrets you might have missed the first time around.

The biggest draw of New Game+ is the chance to tackle the game on a harder difficulty. Enemies hit harder, and you'll need to be more strategic with your builds and combat approach. It's the perfect way to truly master the game's mechanics and push your piloting skills to the limit. So, get ready to re-enter Rubicon, Raven – your next challenge awaits!
