PushSquare : Arc Raiders is an extraction shooter that wants you to pay attention. It wants you to scan the horizon and really listen to its soundscape, and that makes it one of the most exciting multiplayer games heading to PS5 this year.
We've had our eyes on Arc Raiders since its announcement back in 2021. However, once developer Embark Studios released The Finals, a breath of fresh air in the first-person shooter space, our anticipation grew.
A new ARC Raiders beta is seemingly on the horizon as The Finals creator Embark Studios makes quiet changes before Summer Game Fest.
Recent developments regarding the ARC Raiders PlayStation and Xbox files suggest that a beta release is set to happen soon.
ARC Raiders developers also snuck in an .exe file that confirms the game is still due for release in 2025.
Don’t see the hype for this & I don’t see the hate for Marathon. I played marathon and I just got off Arc play test. This is my opinion but marathon has more hook. Arc felt more generic. The fact that Arc had 3 different currencies and monetization systems setup on a play test turned me off instantly. ARC gunplay doesnt come close to marathons let alone Helldivers.
Yes marathon is not great atm but it has way more potential imo. Bungie focusing on balancing/gameplay on a playtest & their current transparency gives me more excitement on it.
