FromSoftware, the renowned developer behind games likeElden Ring, has recently posted several job listings on its career page.

Whether you love Dark Souls or Elden Ring, FromSoftware pioneered the Soulsborne genre, and their games are still the best out there.
This is becauseone job posting, in particular, stands out. The role ofcharacter designerspecifically mentions concept art for characters, creatures, and — most intriguingly —mecha. This is a big hint, asFromSoftware’s Armored Coreseries is famously centred aroundgiant robots.
Given the success ofArmored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, it’s not a huge leap to speculate that the company might be planning a new instalment or evenDLC.

Armored Core 6: Fires Of Rubicon might be all the rage right now, but is it the best in the series?
The fact that this job description explicitly asks for “expertise in mecha design” solidifies the likelihood of anArmored Coreproject.
The listing even states, “People with expertise in mecha design are welcome,” and emphasises the need to “understand the concept of the game and the role of the characters and mecha."
Mecha Fans Have Reason to Rejoice
WhileFromSoftwarehasn’t confirmed what specific projects are in development, we can rule out a few possibilities. CEO Hidetaka Miyazaki has already mentioned that a newElden RingorDark Soulsgameisn’t on the table for now.
Earlier this year, in July,FromSoftwarewas alsorecruiting for acharacter modellerposition, specifically for “modeling and texturing characters or robots.” This further supports the idea that a newmecha-focused game or DLCcould be in the pipeline.
Though we don’t have official confirmation yet, it seems fans of theArmored Coreseries have every reason to anticipate more mecha action soon.
