The studio says it will be going into more details aboutARC Raidersas soon as it starts to more extensively test the game with players.
Invaders from outer space
First teased and thenofficially shown off at The Game Awards 2021,ARC Raidersis a co-op PvE shooter. Players will have to band together to fight off killer enemies from outer space.
It has a big retro-future vibe, in the same vein asDeathloopand the upcomingRollerdrome. It’s also got some notable industry names attached to its developer, Embark Studios.
Embark is headed up byformer DICE CEOPatrick Söderlund, so it could have some similar ideas. And honestly, a co-op PvE game with a mix of outer-space and tinge ofBattlefieldsounds pretty alright to me.
We haven’t seen too much ofARC Raidersyet though, aside from what was shown at last year’s Game Awards. It’s third-person, and seems to have a pretty hefty amount of gunfire and explosions, as well as some fearsome and massive robots to take down. It’s some borderlineEarth Defense Forcevibes, which I’ll be honest, I’m here for! Big robots versus small soldiers sounds like a good time.
We’ll see how the project comes together as Embark continues to work on it and show off more. Until then, we’ll have to wait for the new year to see more ofARC Raiders.
