'Arc Raiders' Needs More Development Time, Delayed Until 2023

by Rainier on Aug. 8, 2022 @ 9:22 a.m. PDT

Arc Raiders is a cooperative third-person PvPvE shooter where players must team up to resist the onslaught of ARC, fearless enemies that drop from orbit.

ARC Raiders is a cooperative, free-to-play, third-person shooter where you and your squad of Raiders unite to resist the onslaught of ARC – a ruthless, mechanized threat descending from space.

You play as one of the Raiders, a rogue group of resistance fighters. With the help of a patchwork early warning system, you fight to protect our home against enemies dropping from orbit. ARC is faceless and unfeeling, but no one could accuse ARC of being unresponsive. In fact, ARC responds to resistance with ever-increasing destruction.

As a Raider, you know that defeating ARC requires more than simply pointing and shooting a gun, and more than one person trying to be a hero. When ARC is around, lone wolves never make it very far.

As underdogs, we need to believe in something bigger than our own strength, in something unapologetically human. That’s why we come together. United amid the unlikelihood of success, what seemed implausible may just become the best course of action. So, by all means, come prepared and plan ahead, but sometimes you just have to wing it.

We've made the decision to delay Arc Raiders to 2023.

Arc Raiders is an ambitious game, and we will be using this extra time to expand the experience, and allow it to reach its fullest potential.

We will be diving into more details as soon as we start to test the game more extensively with players.

The excitement around Arc Raiders since its reveal has been so encouraging for us, and we truly appreciate your support

Scavenge the ruins of the past. Wield tools and gadgets to outsmart the enemy. Use on-the-fly tactics, your surroundings, and physics to your advantage. Defeating ARC requires more than simply pointing and shooting a gun, and more than one person trying to be a hero. It’s a game that both emphasizes and rewards teamwork at every turn. If you and your squad play well together, one day the stars may again become beacons of hope, instead of omens of oblivion.

Loot your fallen foes, and scavenge the ruins of the past for tools and gadgets to outsmart the enemy. Come prepared and plan ahead, but remember that sometimes you just have to wing it.

ARC Raiders is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Epic Games Store, Steam, Nvidia GeForce NOW) in 2023 and will be free to play.
