It’s easy to say that the weekend’s pre-E3 festivities didn’t feature too many surprises.
But that was before Daemon X Machina arrived during Nintendo’s E3 2018 Direct. This spiritual successor to the Armored Core franchise literally came out of nowhere and blew my mind.
Marvelous Entertainment is developing the game with Kenichiro Tsukuda, a Producer best known for his work with the Armored Core franchise. At first, I thought Suda 51 might have been involved with Daemon X Machina, due to its fast and visceral hardcore assault on the senses… and with BIG GIANT ROBOTS fighting EVEN BIGGER GIANT ROBOTS along to some thrash metal.
Nintendo might have spent most of their E3 2018 Direct presentation talking up Super Smash Bros Ultimate, but Daemon X Machina certainly opened it with a bang!
Daemon X Machina will be released for the Nintendo Switch in 2019.
