Arc Raiders Not Planning Any More Playtests Ahead of Launch

Previously this year, Embark Studios briefly released an unannounced update for the Arc Raiders Playtest on Steam. Some quick-thinking players grabbed the update and examined its .exe file, revealing a concealed countdown clock set for June 6 – the day of Summer Game Fest. This discovery sparked speculation among gamers that either the complete game or an open beta would be presented at the event. Unfortunately, it was discovered later that the countdown wasn’t for a surprise launch (or shadow drop), but rather to announce the release date for Arc Raiders, causing disappointment among the community who had high expectations based on the marketing campaign.
