THE GAME

�

ARC Raiders is a multiplayer extraction adventure, set in a lethal future earth, where little remains of the world we know today.

�The mysterious machines of ARC threaten any possible settlement on the surface and communities are forced below the ground to survive. Most people are content just to see another day.

Some choose a bolder path. They are known as Raiders, scavenging the remnants of a lost world.

While many civilians and traders rely on them, Raiders have their own agendas, looking for adventures and opportunities to thrive in a desolate world.

THE TECH TEST�

The ARC Raiders Tech Test is a four-day playtest for registered Steam playtesters between October 24 and October 27, 2024.

While this is the largest playtest of ARC Raiders to date, the size of the test is limited. Participants will be randomly selected across Europe, North America, and Asia. The purpose of the test is to understand and assess how the game plays in a live setting, get feedback, and evaluate the player experience across several areas.

This test is not intended as a marketing beat for the game.

ARC Raiders remains in development and this is a moment for us to get important early feedback from players outside the studio that will help inform our priorities and focus as we head into the last stretch of development.

THE EXPERIENCE

�

Raiders scavenge the surface for vital supplies and materials through quests and loot runs assigned by the traders of Speranza.

While scavenging the surface, you will encounter enemy ARC machines as well as other Raiders competing for resources. Engaging in firefights may be the only way out of a tight spot, but it’s risky too. Sometimes, being cautious and staying out of sight is a better option to stay alive.

To keep your loot, you must reach extraction points, risking ambush. Success means getting your hands on crucial materials for crafting and upgrades, or things to sell to the traders for hard-earned currency.

Failure means losing everything.
