ARC Raiders launches in 2025
Free-to-play player-versus-player-versus-environment survival extraction shooter ARC Raiders will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in 2025 for $39.99, developer Embark Studios announced.
A public “Tech Test” will run for PC via Steam from October 24 to 27.
“While ARC Raiders has changed and evolved over the course of development, the world we have built has always been our anchor,” said Embark Studios co-founder and creative director Stefan Strandberg in a press release. “Our inspiration draws from current-day themes taken to their extreme, like the prospect of colonizing space, at a time when the relationship between man and machine is becoming increasingly fraught.”
Strandberg continued, “ARC Raiders takes place in a post-post apocalypse—a distant future where humanity has moved on to build anew. Surely, this world can be a dangerous and treacherous place, but at the same time it’s inherently hopeful, vibrant, and charming.”
While initially announced as a free-to-play title, ARC Raiders is now a premium game.
“It became increasingly clear to us during development that a premium model is a better fit for the experience we’re building with ARC Raiders,” said executive producer Aleksander Grondal. “This shift allows us to focus on what truly matters for this game — creating an engaging, balanced, and replayable action survival experience.”
