What Are the Latest Armored Core Releases?

Updated

The two most recent Armored Core releases are mobile-game ports brought to modern platforms: Armored Core: Mobile 3 (rerelease), dated January 2026 for Nintendo Switch and Steam, and Armored Core: Mobile 2 (rerelease), dated June 2025 for the same two platforms. Both are ports of titles originally made for feature phones, so they sit outside the main console line — worth knowing before you buy if you're expecting a full modern Armored Core game.

The two latest releases at a glance

Release Date Platforms What it is
Armored Core: Mobile 3 (rerelease) January 2026 Nintendo Switch, Steam Port of the 2007 feature-phone title
Armored Core: Mobile 2 (rerelease) June 2025 Nintendo Switch, Steam Port of the 2005 feature-phone title

Both entries come from the Armored Core Wiki's "Latest releases" section, which tracks official Armored Core media.

Armored Core: Mobile 3 (rerelease)

  • Release date: January 2026
  • Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Steam
  • Official description: "Fight on—just to survive. A world of rival powers, with tomorrow unknown."
  • Original release: 2007, for feature phones
  • Where it fits in the timeline: The story fills the gap between the console titles Armored Core: Nexus and Armored Core: Last Raven.

If you follow the series' narrative chronology, this is the detail that matters most — Mobile 3 is positioned as a bridge between two console entries rather than a standalone side story.

Armored Core: Mobile 2 (rerelease)

  • Release date: June 2025
  • Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Steam
  • Original release: 2005, for feature phones
  • Official description: "Build it. Master it. Win with pure will. Forge the ultimate ARMORED CORE with your own hands."

The rerelease is described as an enhanced version with a back-view perspective, plus:

  • Training missions, including evasion drills, MT battles, and survival exercises
  • Arena Mode — 1-on-1 battles against unique Ravens, each with their own tactics
  • Over 50 parts, covering weapons and mech components

That part count and the Arena structure are the closest this port gets to the customization loop the console games are known for, so it's the main thing to weigh if you're deciding whether it's worth your time.

How to decide between them

  • You care about story continuity: Mobile 3, because it explicitly connects Nexus and Last Raven.
  • You want the more feature-complete port right now: Mobile 2, which is already out and lists its mission types, Arena Mode, and part count.
  • You want the newest thing: Mobile 3, dated January 2026.
  • You're on Switch or Steam: Both qualify — they share the same platform list.

One caveat: the wiki lists these as rereleases of feature-phone games, so their scope is smaller than a console Armored Core. The source material doesn't state pricing or whether a login or account is required on either platform, so check the store pages directly for that.

Where this information comes from

The Armored Core Wiki (armoredcore.fandom.com) is an unofficial, fan-maintained wiki covering official Armored Core content — games, literature, collectibles, and more. It has existed since 2008 and, per its own figures, has accumulated 6,448 articles and 15,298 files across 110,522 edits, maintained in the last 30 days by 14 volunteers. Because it's volunteer-run, treat release details as a starting point and confirm dates and platform availability against official store listings before you commit.
