Alright, so here’s the scoop. Today’s Summer Game Fest was a bit of a whirlwind—like totally what Arc Raiders fans were hoping for finally happened. You know when you’re at the end of something amazing and you’re not ready to let go? That’s where these players were after the second Tech Test wrapped up in May. Somehow, a lot of them might’ve never wanted to stop, ever. I mean, they practically begged for the official release!
Okay, so maybe they didn’t get a ribbon-wrapped surprise launch, but hey, there’s a release date now. Not the same, but still a win, right?
Yeah, so people were kinda holding their breath for another beta — but nope, not quite yet. Especially for those who couldn’t squeeze into the Tech Test 2 party. It’s like being stuck outside a concert, only listening to the tunes from a distance while others are having a blast inside. Bummer.
The good stuff? Embark put the word out that October 30, 2025, is the big day for Arc Raiders on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Sounds like they took what happened in Tech Test 2 and sprinkled some magic. Well, maybe. We’ll have to see for ourselves when it hits—fingers crossed!
Not that Arc Raiders was missing much; the vibes here took me back to when PUBG was all the rage.
And speaking of vibes, Embark and Geoff Keighley, they’re like old pals at this point. Remember back in 2021, at The Game Awards, when Arc Raiders was just this cute little co-op shooter?
Oh! And don’t forget The Finals—that was Embark’s first baby, kinda popped out casually at The Game Awards in December 2023. So naturally, everyone’s radar was pinging for some Arc Raiders action today. And — wait, where was I going with this? Anyway, you get the point. It’s exciting, that’s all!
