Japanese model manufacturer Kotobukiya recently announced that the popular AC unit "SCHNEIDER NACHTREIHER/40E Steel Haze" from "Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon" is being developed as a model kit product. They also exhibited an unpainted prototype currently under development, with the release date yet to be determined.
"Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon" is the latest installment in the "Armored Core" series, developed by FromSoftware after a decade-long hiatus. The story is set on the remote planet "Rubicon 3," where humanity discovered a mysterious new substance called "Coral." It was initially believed that this substance could become a new energy source and significantly advance technology, but instead, it brought about a devastating catastrophe that consumed the entire star system. Nearly a century later, the terrifying "Coral" has become a target of contention for extraterrestrial corporations and resistance groups. Players will once again assume the role of "Raven," a mercenary piloting a robot, to infiltrate Rubicon and gradually delve into the heart of this storm of conflict.
The AC being released this time is the Steel Haze piloted by "V.IV Rusty," the commander of the Vespers 4th Squad who initially fought alongside the protagonist. From the currently revealed prototype, one can observe the exterior armor parts are given high-density detail expressions such as numerous armor lines and grooves, and the insect-like bowed leg shape of the lower body is thoroughly reproduced. The backpack can recreate the deployed thruster appearance by swapping parts. It also comes with a rich array of weapons that can be freely attached and detached, including the burst handgun "MA-E-211 SAMPU," laser blade "Vvc-774LS," plasma missile "Vvc-703PM," and burst rifle "MA-J-200 RANSETSU-RF."
