Armoured Core Games Price Increase
The most notable increase was a 350% increase in the price of the first Armoured Core game for PlayStation 1. A fully sealed copy of this game was selling for around $32 in early 2021. This is nothing compared to its peak of over $220 early this year after the announcement of the new Armoured Core game in December of last year before calming down and settling at just over $110.
It seems that everyone is after the first Armoured Core game, but it is not the only one to see a rise in price. Titles like the Armoured Core 3 and Armoured Core 4 that were in the $20 – $30 price range are now retailing for over $60. While the most recent title, Armoured Core Last Raven, has been retailing for over $150. The prices seem to be somewhat stable as of now, but it is uncertain for how long.
The new Armoured Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is set to release in late August this year and will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S.
