Embark Studios is gearing up to provide eager players with a thrilling first taste of their highly anticipated game, ARC Raiders. The studio has announced that a closed alpha testing phase will commence later this month, offering lucky participants an exclusive opportunity to delve into the captivating world of this PvPvE extraction shooter.
Mark your calendars for June 29, as this will be the day when ARC Raiders embarks on its inaugural test run, venturing out into the untamed wilderness of gaming experimentation.
If you’re eager to get your hands on the action, you’ll need to sign up on Steam to secure your chance at participating in the alpha. As an appetizer, a brand-new trailer has been unveiled, showcasing tantalizing glimpses of gameplay from the pre-alpha build.
ARC Raiders initially made a splash at The Game Awards back in 2021, captivating audiences with its promising concept of a cooperative PvE experience where players united to combat hordes of invading alien machines.
Originally slated for release last year, Embark Studios made the tough decision to delay the game, redirecting their efforts towards perfecting another ambitious project, the upcoming free-to-play team shooter, The Finals. The Finals is currently running its second playable beta [1] until June 21.
However, breaking news arrived last month when Embark Studios revealed a significant shift in ARC Raiders’ design. The game has evolved into a more PvP-focused extraction experience, where teams of players not only battle against enemy machines but also engage in fierce competition with each other to secure valuable resources.
Embark Studios remains tight-lipped about the exact release window for ARC Raiders. However, they have confirmed their plans to launch the game on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, ensuring that players across different platforms will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in this adrenaline-pumping universe.
Anticipation continues to grow as the closed alpha draws near, and players eagerly await the chance to test their skills in the high-stakes battles of ARC Raiders. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting title as Embark Studios prepares to unleash its multiplayer mayhem upon the gaming world.
