Arc Raiders. Battlefield inventor’s shooter revealed

While EA and DICE are currently filling their hands to cheer up the Battlefield community in the wake of Battlefield 2042’s release date, Game Awards 2021 is a promising option for battered fans of the shooter series around the corner. Because Battlefield inventor Patrick Soderlund along with the team at Embark Studios has announced a new free-2-play shooter with a sci-fi setting — and the revealed trailer for the game called Ark Raiders was pretty good Crash.

Third-person, multiplayer-only

What becomes clear at first glance with Ark Raiders: Shooter fans can expect a whole lot of uncompromising multiplayer action. We slip into the role of a so-called Raider, a type of resistance fighter who happens to defend Earth from the Ark in a futuristic scenario. The Arc are robot-like machines that have invaded our planet. The special thing about Ark Raiders is that we sometimes face big opponents from a third person perspective.

Beyond that, the shooter does away with the single player campaign entirely and should instead offer a decent co-op experience. The focus is on strategy and team play. Depending on the type of enemy, we have to skillfully combine our skills and weapons to stand a chance against the seemingly formidable arc. The trailer shows what it looks like in practice:

Ark Raiders is scheduled to appear as a free 2-play shooter in 2022 on Epic and Steam for PC as well as Geforce Now, Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Nothing is known about a possible monetization mechanism yet. However, Patrick Söderlund, CEO of Embark Studios, has promised that we will get to know more about the title soon.
