As the Summer Game Fest kicks off, something kinda magical happened. I mean, if you’re into Arc Raiders, this was your moment. Since the second Tech Test wrapped up in May, the chatter didn’t stop. People just wanted to keep playing. Like, really bad.
The game was so smooth back then. People were literally yelling, “Just release it already!” Fast forward to today, they dropped the news we’ve been waiting for—well, sort of. No official release yet, but hey, we’ve got a date.
Some folks were crossing their fingers for another beta drop soon. Spoiler: it’s not happening right away. Millions who missed jumping into Tech Test 2 were stuck watching from the sidelines. Bet that was rough, huh?
But listen up—big news flash—Arc Raiders is hitting the shelves on October 30, 2025. Mark those calendars for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. It’s supposedly got new stuff since Tech Test 2. But yeah… gotta play it to see what’s really up.
Wasn’t much to change, though—the game’s already rocking strong characters and gameplay. It’s got that old-school PUBG feel. Anyone else miss those days?
So Embark, the brains behind Arc Raiders, and Geoff Keighley? Total besties in the gaming world. The game was first teased way back in 2021, during The Game Awards. Back then, it was all about co-op shooting. Now look at it!
Embark’s first game, The Finals, just kinda popped out of nowhere back in December 2023 at The Game Awards. So, everyone was on their toes during this Summer Game Fest, hoping for a little snippet of Arc Raiders news. And, well, here we are.
