ARC Raiders: Embark Studios Announces Second Test & Releases New Trailer - Dates & Platforms
For those waiting so patiently in the extraction shooter universe, it always feels like some games have been on the horizon forever, doesn't it. One of them is Embark Studios' ARC Raiders, the same studio behind popular game, The Finals. After being a bit radio-silent for a while, they just gave everyone a friendly reminder that they're still working hard by releasing a brand new action trailer.
This new video gives us a new perspective on the game's world, a world devastated by enormous robots. Although most of the trailer is more in the cinematic mode for atmosphere, it definitely does have some actual gameplay. We get to see the players in action and even caught some interesting mechanics – like using what looks like a grappling hook to quickly scale terrain, and that always-pleasing stealth move where you catch an enemy from behind.
Upcoming Test Announced
Maybe the most exciting part of this news is the revelation it gives us about acquiring the game. The trailer promises us that the second round of testing is close at hand. So, if you've been eager to try out ARC Raiders yourself, here's your chance.
The test will be held between April 30th and May 4th. The test will be conducted on various platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles. If you are interested in taking part and helping test the game, you can sign up either directly on the official ARC Raiders website or via its page on Steam.
It's encouraging to see Embark Studios pushing forward with ARC Raiders, and this upcoming test is a great sign of progress. If the new trailer piqued your interest, definitely go apply for the test.
