Arc Raiders features instruments like a guitar and recorder that players can use, and developer Embark’s CEO wanted the game to have even more at launch.
Speaking to IGN, Patrick Soderlund said he was “so upset” that Arc Raiders launched with a minimal roster of instruments–today, the game has shakers, a recorder, and an acoustic guitar. Soderlund said the team designed and built “so many” more instruments, but they haven’t been added to the game yet.
“I happen to be in a position of decision-making authority [laughs]. So, the answer is yes, there will be more instruments. For sure. I love them, and they create such cool moments,” he said.
It’s interesting to hear about the developer’s passion for the game and their feelings about the launch. The inclusion of unique instruments like a guitar and recorder sounds like a fun twist that could really enhance the gameplay experience. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves!
