ARC Raiders gets a debut trailer for its unique 3rd person game
It has been almost two years since Embark Studio started to tease their first game, and now thanks to The Game Awards, we have our first look at ARC Raiders, check out the reveal trailer below.
While the trailer showed a fair chunk of gameplay, it really didn’t explain what is happening in the game, but we can do that now. ARC Raiders is a 3rd person shooter, which is also free-to-play, where you and your fellow squad of Raiders come together to take down the ARC, a ruthless threat composed of machines that fall from outer space.
While you can attempt to go at it alone, those who do may find themselves taken down quickly, so working as a team is your best bet. The world is rife with things to discover, so scavenge all you can, create tools and gadgets to help you bring down the mechanical threat that the ARC pose and live to fight another day.
One of the games core tenants is that this is more than your standard shooter and going crazy and trying new things is completely expected. Using physics and the world around you can help you survive and hey, if that one trick didn’t work out, just try something else.
The game is aiming for a 2022 release for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Game Store.
