ARC Raiders

ARC Raiders released nearly 1 year ago, and ahead of our first anniversary we’re giving Raiders the chance to play for free from Oct. 8 at 11:00 CEST until Oct 12 at 10:00 CEST! Free play will grant access to the full ARC Raiders game, the award-winning multiplayer extraction adventure set in a lethal future earth. It’s the perfect chance to invite your friends to team up against the ARC machines ravaging the surface, scavenge what you can, and extract to safety. Each session can bring new surprises, just beware of Raiders who prey on others. You’ll also have the chance to experience ARC Raiders’ biggest update since launch, Frozen Trail. An unprecedented disruption has drawn dangers to the Rust Belt unlike anything we’ve seen before. Raiders forge a way to the icy region of Pendola Pass in a last-ditch attempt to get the Rust Belt out of ARC’s line of fire. Introducing a new map, new ARC enemies, the colossal ARC Frigate, the Redirection map condition, new weapons, gadgets, Weapon Amplification, and more. Frozen Trail also brings new player progression with a reworked skill tree, new Reward Pass system, and customizable Raider Outposts. Visit the official ARC Raiders blog for a mo

Cheat makers profit from selling to players, often bundling malware with their software, and every time we improve our defenses, they adapt and find new ways around them. We adapt too. Our growing anti-cheat team is continually working to detect and block new cheats, close the pathways they exploit, and add obstacles that make cheating harder and less worthwhile. It's work we're committed to for as long as our games are live.We’ve shared some of this work through occasional updates, but we know that simply saying we’re working on it isn’t enough. Some of this is intentional, as sharing too much about our anti-cheat systems can make it easier for cheaters to adapt. Other times we are working on things in the background an

Arc Raiders developers Embark heavily underestimated the challenges of creating a full-blown live service game, executive producer Aleksander Grøndal has conceded in a new interview. The extraction shooter launched with an ambition for monthly post-release updates that ultimately proved untenable, resulting in an exhausted and unhappy team who were "constantly overshooting our capacity".
