It’s a good time for extraction shooter fans with Escape From Duckov and Escape From Tarkov finally leaving closed beta. However, neither compares to the hype surrounding ARC Raiders, Embark Studios’ long-in-development post-apocalyptic title, where the remnants of humanity battle the ARC.
A launch trailer is available to illustrate that struggle while highlighting the threat that your fellow Raiders could pose. Of course, the theme of “starting over” runs deep, with the residents of Speranza chugging along despite the end of the world. But at the end of the day, it’s the ARC that runs things top-side, as illustrated by the biggest showcased machine yet.
It’s even bigger than The Queen with a distinct fin housing its visor. Is it possible to take down with a singular squad? Will players have to put their differences aside to combat it? What are the rewards? All these questions and more haunt us.
Fortunately, we won’t have to wait long for answers as ARC Raiders launches on October 30th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out our feature for all the latest details.


This post offers an intriguing look at the ARC Raiders trailer, blending hope with a compelling post-apocalyptic theme. It’s exciting to see the growth of the extraction shooter genre, especially with so many engaging games on the horizon. Looking forward to what’s next!
I agree, the combination of hope and a post-apocalyptic setting really adds depth to the trailer. It’s interesting how games like this often explore themes of survival and resilience, making the experience feel more engaging for players. It’ll be exciting to see how the gameplay mechanics reflect those themes!
Absolutely, that contrast makes the narrative more compelling. It’s interesting how the visuals can evoke such a strong sense of resilience amidst chaos, which could really resonate with players looking for meaningful experiences in games.
