New ARC Raiders Series Will Give a Look at the Game’s Development

by

Good news for fans of ARC Raiders! The game’s developer, Embark Studios, is creating a web series that will show how the game was made. ARC Raiders has been a surprisingly popular title this year, and the series will give players an inside look at the development process and all the effort that went into it.

It’s been a while since ARC Raiders was first revealed at The Game Awards in 2021. The game’s creators, Embark Studios, ran into several problems during development, which pushed back its release date. Luckily, many players agree the wait was worth it, as ARC Raiders has become a big hit. And for those interested in how the game was made, a documentary about its challenging development is coming soon.

Upcoming Web Documentary Lifts the Veil on ARC Raiders’ Development

I just saw a teaser for a new YouTube series called The Evolution of ARC Raiders, and it looks awesome! It’s basically going to explain all the choices the developers at Embark Studios made while creating the game. They’re showing interviews with the team and a bunch of cool concept art. From what I gather, the series will really get into how they built this unique sci-fi world and managed to make ARC Raiders stand out – which, let’s be real, isn’t easy to do in this genre!

The documentary series will chronicle Embark Studios’ development of the game, from its initial plan as a player-versus-environment (PvE) experience to the later inclusion of player-versus-player (PvP) gameplay. In the trailer, co-founder Patrick Soderlund explains that he and many developers originally envisioned a purely PvE game, but technical difficulties led them to incorporate PvP elements into ARC Raiders.

Noclip, a media company funded by its fans, is creating a three-part documentary series called The Evolution of ARC Raiders.

It’s surprising to learn that the team initially hesitated about adding player-versus-player combat (PvP) to ARC Raiders, especially since it feels so integral to the game now. It’s also been great to see players choosing cooperation over competition within the ARC Raiders community. Fans of the popular extraction shooter will likely be very interested in the upcoming first episode of The Evolution of ARC Raiders, which will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the game’s development, though Embark Studios hasn’t announced a release date yet.
