Armored Core 6 was released with rave reviews, and John Famiglietti, the bass guitarist from the popular band Health, has even gone as far as getting “FromSofware” tattooed on his chest.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon became one of the biggest Steam game launches of 2023, with fans praising the game with “Very Positive” reviews after the community had waited over 10 years for a new franchise release.
The developers FromSoftware have been going from strength to strength, as they have continued to build off the success of their 2022 blockbuster release of Elden Ring, which received high critical acclaim.
Despite Armored Core being a more niche series, the mecha-based combat game became the second-biggest launch for FromSoftware.
The game’s release has led to new and returning players adoring the game and its creators. One fan, musician John Famiglietti, even went as far as getting a tattoo of the game developer’s logo to show his admiration.

John Famiglietti is one of the three members of the band Health, where he plays the bass, pedals, and electronic instruments for the group.
Although a tattoo of a game developer might seem off the wall, the band has a close connection with the gaming community. They have created various original soundtracks over the years for video games, most notably for Max Payne 3, Grand Theft Auto V, and Cyberpunk 2077.
