News: The strangely titled next entry in the Armored Core series is on the way.

Ubisoft has announced that they will be bringing the 13th game in the Armored Core series, titled Armored Core For Answer, to America this September. The game will be released on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and, as always, is being developed by From Software.

Players can expect a two-player online co-op mode, online multiplayer battles, mech customization with over 400 parts and both "veteran" and "beginner" control schemes. They can also expect the following plot developments:

In the distant future, massive urban development and pollution have critically damaged the planet. There is widespread fear that the end of the world is approaching. The League corporations, a military superpower, control the planet's infrastructure and have forced most of the world's population to live in huge aerial communities, called Cradles, to avoid the contamination. The ORCA, a rebel resistance still residing on the surface of the polluted planet, have amassed a formidable arsenal and are mobilizing to attack The League's bases to put an end to their iron grip on the planet. As a mercenary armed with cutting-edge military robot technology, choose your side and defeat the other factions by harnessing the power of the deadliest and most gigantic weapons ever created by mankind.

We'll have more soon.
