Former EA chief designer Patrick Söderlund’s Embark Studios initially planned for ARC Raiders to be their first title. The game is a co-op sci-fi shooter that sees the human resistance battling the overwhelming threats of the alien ARC. Originally slated for release back in 2022/2023, ARC Raiders is now looking set to finally be released later this year. It was temporarily back-burnered while the studio worked on The Finals instead. With that title now out and running in it’s third season, the studio has returned focus onto ARC Raiders, which it now hopes to have ready for release sometime this year.
ARC Raiders is a multiplayer extraction adventure, set in a lethal future earth, where little remains of the world we know today.
On the surface, threats are everywhere: ARC machines loom high in the skies and lurk in the shadowy corners of abandoned spaceports and run-down warehouses. You’ll encounter everything from roaming rollbots to multi-legged behemoths, and the choice will be yours — team up to defeat them, or risk combat with your fellow Raiders if you’d rather keep the spoils for yourself.
While the line between friend and foe is razor thin on the surface, in Speranza, you’ll find refuge. The Traders there are ready to supply you with quests and gear. You can also craft equipment in your Raider Den, such as advanced weapon mods or unique gadgets. With every level gained on the surface, you can invest your experience into a branching skill tree.
