Embark Studios is gearing up for another round of testing for their much-anticipated game, ARC Raiders. From April 30 to May 4, players will get the opportunity to dive into the world of ARC Raiders during its second public tech test. This exciting event is open to gamers on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, and interested participants can register through Steam or the game’s official website.
Initially unveiled at The Game Awards 2021, ARC Raiders was originally planned to be a cooperative PvE game. However, Embark Studios later decided to integrate PvPvE elements, adding thrilling encounters against both AI adversaries and other player teams. While the exact release date is still under wraps, this tech test offers eager players a sneak peek into the game’s captivating landscape.
For those itching to see what’s new, the upcoming test includes several enhancements, from enemy diversity to a suite of new weapons and improved player progression. Players can also get a glimpse of the game’s Battle Pass. The executive producer, Aleksander Grondal, has highlighted the studio’s commitment to refining ARC Raiders based on player input. He expressed hope that this test would provide valuable insights into the game’s development, addressing elements like combat mechanics and the cross-platform experience.
Despite facing some development hurdles, ARC Raiders seems poised for its eventual release. Its gameplay promises a rich mix of survival tactics within an open world, where players must fend off mechanical foes. Until the developers announce an official release date, gamers can immerse themselves in the tech test starting April 30, gaining a firsthand experience of what’s to come.
