PlayStation has announced that FromSoftware's first three classic Armored Core titles will be coming to PlayStation in the near future, and will be included as a part of the PlayStation Plus Premium Game Catalogue.
The games will be the first three PlayStation (1) entries within the series: Armored Core, Armored Core: Project Phantasma, and Armored Core: Master of Arena.
Each game sees players stepping into the role of being a mercenary known as a "Raven" to pilot mechs called ACs and complete a wide range of missions. The games are known for being challenging, but with deep customization that always provides you with the tools needed to succeed.
The first three entries within the series make up the original "Armored Core Generation" with following games adopting a similar pattern. Armored Core 2 released on the PlayStation 2 with 2: Another Age as a direct follow up, while Armored Core 3 received Silent Line, Nexus, Nine Breaker, Formula Front, and Last Raven.
While a handful of these games are currently on PlayStation Network, they are only accessible via their PlayStation Portable releases, and only for those who own a PlayStation Vita to access the original store.
