After its delay last year, Embark Studio’s third-person shooter, Arc Raiders, has changed direction enough to necessitate a genre change.
Prior to the delay, Arc Raiders was billed as a PvE shooter, where players could team up to survive deadly enemies in a distinct future-vision of the world. When Embark Studio made the decision to focus on The Finals, its other first-person team-based shooter that is launching soon, it decided to delay Arc Raiders while also figuring out how to fold in PvP elements.
