The newest issue of Famitsu has revealed the release date of Armored Core 5 in Japan, due in October and to North America in early 2012.

A beta will be available prior to the Japanese launch, hopefully we can get in on some of that action in the states. Famitsu has a nice preview which provides a nice look at some of the action: glide boost, boost charge, high boost, jump & boost, and drift. Let’s hope we get some of those yummy details next week.
