Overview
- Embark published a simultaneous global schedule for console and PC, with preloads available on PlayStation, Xbox and Steam but not on the Epic Games Store.
- Arc Raiders is a $39.99 premium extraction shooter on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with cross-play and cross-progression via Embark ID.
- CEO Patrick Söderlund acknowledges releasing between Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 as “insanity” yet calls this launch the beginning of a long journey.
- Account wipes are optional every eight weeks for players who complete an Expedition Project, granting up to five permanent bonus skill points and a small stash increase for the next run.
- The Queen is the toughest AI at launch and was rarely defeated during the Server Slam, and Embark hints at tougher encounters arriving shortly after release.
