Delightful! So far they are saying all the right things to get me excited! ACV being so multiplayer focused was a turnoff for me despite the weight of the game being a lot more appealing compared to IV.
Co-op missions would be cool to see, in theory, but good to see they're not investing their time in that — it would change the content too radically, or require a level of dynamism or replayability that they likely cannot justify. Sounding great.
Yes it's 2023 not exact date so could change but I think it comes out end of next year.
"Changes occurring during missions"
Yessss script the shit out these missions. I want to see wild shit happen.

Wouldn't singleplayer be more accessible to everyone than co-op these days? You have to pay extra for online features.
Music to my fucking ears.
I forget which AC I played but it was one that really felt like multiplayer was the focus and playing it single player kinda felt like an afterthought. So this makes me a lot more optimistic that I'll enjoy AC6.

If theres no co-op, there might be some wild shit happening during some of these missions which is also probably why they chose to not make it an open world game.
I'm fine with this considering co-op always felt like an afterthought in Souls games. There's a reason people cite summoning as easy mode and it's because the Souls games are balanced for single player and having a buddy along for the ride melts the bosses.
I beat ACIII last night, and it has a thing where you can bring in consorts to certain missions and you can do a 2v2 arena fight. I feel like that's something that could work in a modern framework of online co-op play, if it's enabled only for certain missions
Versus mode being online is more important tho anyway

My biggest complaint with Verdict Day was that I played it after there was little to nobody playing co-op still and some of the missions were clearly made around that, so hearing this single player focus makes me happy and relieved.
I've never felt so close, yet so far, at recalling what this is a reference to
I completely forgot about this game lol.
I miss this ERA of mp gaming.
Understandable but I always appreciate the outside of the box thinking From often applies to multiplayer
I'm actually fine if this ArmoredCore doesn't get ChromeHounds or Verdict Day war modes, but I hope it sells well enough that From looks back at the ChromeHounds IP again for something to support that mode
Coop would have been nice, but I understand why it's not there.
Still super excited. I just recently started playing this franchise and I'm already a fan.

Full co-op was nice in ACV but I'd rather get an actually good game instead, I guess.
I was never big on PVP in these games because the netcode was like...imagine fighting a laggy invader in dark souls but they are also a mech boosting in random directions at 500kph. And multi was DOA in ACV on Xbox so I never got to even try it, lol.

You'll get you AI partner AC's and you'll like it god damn it! Can't wait for this game to throw 5 enemy AC's my way, and then have my one partner up and betray me half way through. These are the kinds of experiences that they want to cultivate for us that would be hampered with online play lol
5. There are some missions that can actually feel grindy because they're built for coop. Absolutely ruined the game for me.
On that note. Good. AC's story will be much better as a single player game. I still hope multiplayer is robust though. The way armored core works, in a different world, could have been an excellent team based or spectator friendly esport kind of game. With different players building different ACs and needing high skill ceilings for flashy combat
Edit: I wonder if they will still have a wingman or merc hiring system like some of the 3 series games

Sega had this with Border Break. It's honestly a shame that it didn't get any console or PC ports until way way way down the line.
