Namco Bandai Games America have announced that it will be bringing Armored Core: Verdict Day to North America and Europe during fall 2013.

Players can command a squadron of advanced Armored Core mechs in a dystopian future ravaged by war and stripped of natural resources. Players will form squads of up to 20 members and enlist into one of the various in-game factions to wrestle control of territories away from other players in the game’s persistent multiplayer mode. New gameplay features will be implemented into multiplayer to ensure that players who choose to play alone will be able to recruit a squad of A.I. controlled mechs and enjoy the co-op and multiplayer modes.

Operator Mode returns with new upgrades, allowing players to tactically command a full squad of Armored Core mechs from a tactical top-down point-of-view. Operators will be able to set rally points, mark targets and receive real-time in-cockpit views from other players and computer-controlled squad mates to achieve real-time strategic command of the battlefield.

Armored Core: Verdict Day is coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
