As ifFromSoftwaredoesn’t have enough in the works right now, it’s being reported that a project called “FMC” is in deep development and could release as early as next year.
Beyond making some of the best-reviewed and highest-selling games of the past generation, FromSoftware has proventhat it’s one of the most efficient developers out there. Not a year goes by where we don’t hear about some grand new project or expansion for one of its biggest games, withElden Ring: Nightreignandthe upcoming The Duskbloods being the most recent examples.
Although The Duskbloods already seems like a big departure for FromSoftwareand one that it’s clearly been working on for a while, it’s very likely that the studio has even more in development right now. In fact, if a recent report is to be believed, its next project isn’t that far off from being released.
FromSoft is reportedly in deep development for “Project FMC”
Chances are high that it’s to do with Armored Core
Earlier today,MP1st shared a report that claimed that, thanks to information the site was “able to obtain”, it looks like FromSoftwareis in the “advanced stages” of working on a new unannounced project. The game, which is apparently codenamed FMC (although that might be an abbreviation for something longer), is seemingly a multiplatform game, unlike The Duskbloods.
MP1st trusts the source it received the information from so much that it claims the project is likely in such anadvanced stage that we might be able to play it “no later than next year”, as long as it doesn’t get delayed. Considering FromSoft’s track record, that sounds fairly likely in the grand scheme of things.
If Project FMC really is in the works, that just leaves the question of what it could be. MP1st notes that it likely doesn’t refer to The Duskbloods, considering it’s reportedly being tested for multiple consoles, and that projects starting with the letter “F” are usually saved forDark Soulsand Armored Core.
Considering it’s been a few years now since Armored Core 6 released, it does seem likely that a smaller side-project or expansion for Fires of Rubicon is in the works. That’s been rumoured for some time now, so there’s a good chance that project FMC (which even sounds a little mech-y to me) is actually a new Armored Core.
If you’re like me, you can pretend that it’s actually a codename for Sekiro 2. Come on FromSoft, you know you want to…
Whatever the case, we won’t know for sure until FromSoft reveals the project in its entirety. For now, though, it’s a nice little thing for fans of the developer to keep in mind,especially since The Duskblood’s multiplayer focus isn’t for everyone.
