ARC Raiders Set for 2025 Release, Playtesting Launches This Fall

ARC Raiders, the upcoming game from Embark Studios, has faced several delays since its announcement in 2021. Initially expected to launch in 2022, the game is now set for a 2025 release, with playtesting scheduled to start in fall 2024. This exciting title has evolved from a co-op PvP experience to a “PvPvE survival extraction shooter,” promising a dynamic gameplay environment. A new teaser trailer displayed at gamescom offers a glimpse of the vibrant sci-fi world players will explore, focused on scavenging for resources while navigating dangers.

In ARC Raiders, players inhabit an underground colony named Speranza, where survival hinges on scavenging for resources to combat machines threatening their existence. As a Raider, players embark on perilous missions to gather supplies, encountering remnants of past encounters and unusual artifacts in a richly crafted setting.

ARC Raiders presents a unique premise combining survival mechanics with engaging multiplayer elements, positioning it as a highly anticipated title in the gaming landscape. Developed by former Battlefield and Star Wars: Battlefront developers, Embark Studios aims to deliver an innovative experience that stays true to the roots of cooperative and competitive gaming. Expect to dive into this exciting world in 2025, where every resource scavenged and encounter faced will shape the outcome of your Raider’s journey.
