The announcment was posted to the game’sTwitteraccount, where the team wrote that “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.” So it goes! When a game needs a bit longer in development, it’s good that it should get that time.
Arc Raiders was originally announced atThe Game Awards in 2021, so you’d be forgiven for missing it among the absolute deluge of trailers that make up any of Geoff Keighley’s advertise ‘em ups. As a refresher, it’s a co-op, free-to-play, third-person shooter about fighting a bunch of evil space robots who just won’t stop trying to invade earth. Looks like there’s some scavenging bits too, making new tools for more effectively dispatching alien machines and fitting it all into that scrappy, underdog resistance theme.
More details on the game are apparently coming soon, once Embark have carried out some more extensive playtesting. Arc Raiders is now scheduled to launch in 2023 onSteamand theEpic Games Store.
