Armored Core: Verdict Day will be about a fight between three major forces, which seems like it will be getting even more hectic as a group of unknown mercenaries join the mix, and a mysterious organization of researchers who’ve been providing the three with technology seems to be further fueling the war. Here are some of the key characters from the upcoming mech battling game.
