“We look forward to sharing more about the game in the coming months.” “With this reveal, we want to celebrate gameplay and give players more than a hint of how ARC Raiders looks and what it feels like to play,” Söderlund said in a press statement.
I’m calling dibs (until someone better shows up). Not having to pay upfront is a way to get curious folks in the door, especially with a PvE squad format, but if the monetization is too heavy-handed, will most players just move on? That’s the concern.īased on the first few raiders, including Lance, a cool (?) droid man, ARC Raiders will be leaning hard into its characterization. There’s also the free-to-play factor - and speaking of, it’s owned by Nexon - which could help or hurt it depending on all of the usual factors. The way the characters scramble speaks to me. Other than that, what stood out? For me, and this might be reading way too much into the gameplay snippets, ARC Raiders gave me a sort of glossy, high-budget Earth Defense Force vibe - albeit with a more focused threat. Anything a new IP can do to get (and keep) our attention in a sea of other trailers and adverts. I’ll admit, I thought the music choice for this announcement trailer was pretty unusual last night during the live show, but Robyn hasn’t left my mind, so the track did its job.
#ARC RAIDERS PS4 SERIES#
This debut game from Embark Studios - a team led by former DICE CEO and EA chief design officer Patrick Söderlund - is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in 2022. In an unexpected turn of events, one of my favorite game reveals last night at The Game Awards 2021 was ARC Raiders, a PvE sci-fi shooter with a bit of underdog flair to its band of resistance fighters and some big droids that look like they’ll be fun to bring down.
I hope the free-to-play hooks are kept in check
