Embark Studios has officially launched “ARC Raiders,” a new multiplayer extraction shooter inviting players into a perilous, futuristic Earth for high-stakes survival.
The game is now available digitally for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Players can also stream the title through NVIDIA GeForce NOW.
The Standard Edition of “ARC Raiders” is priced at $39.99, while a Deluxe Edition is available for $59.99.
Players take on the role of Raiders, renegade gunmen navigating a world overrun by lethal ARC machines and rival factions. The objective is to explore the surface for resources, engage in intense combat, and build a home in the underground neighborhood of Speranza.
A new map, “Blue Gate,” is introduced at launch, adding to the game’s expansive world filled with mysteries and opportunities.
Stefan Strandberg, Creative Director at Embark Studios, stated the team’s goal was to create “a world where every encounter told a story and every risk felt real.” He added that they are “very excited by the community’s response to the world we’ve built over the last six years,” calling it a “big milestone” for the team.
Strandberg expressed eagerness to “continue this journey with our players and see how they will make this world their own, as we continue to grow and develop.”
