ARC Raiders Delayed: Battlefield Developers’ Free-to-Play Shooter Looks Exceptional, But It’ll Keep Us Waiting

Presented last year during the Game Awards 2021, ARC Raiders resembled many things and none at once. This seemingly massive project where they work former Battlefield developers It was anticipated to be interesting with a visual style and concept a la Destiny and Star Wars, drawing the attention of many. Now, after more than half a year without news, the study has decided to make the decision to delay the game.

A delay that has been announced via Twitter on the official game account where the Embark Studios team thanks to the players the interest and the support they have been receiving, but it was an unavoidable decision. Although ARC Raiders did not have a date of launch, the game will finally not arrive this year and is going to 2023although it does not confirm a premiere window either.

Far from that, perhaps the reason is what scares the fans who were waiting for the arrival of this looter shooter eagerly Far from the notorious delays in order to polish the game or fix last minute bugs, the Swedish team claims that ARC Raiders is a ambitious game and will seek to expand the gaming experience with this extra time.

A situation that makes it clear to us that the team of former DICE workers may have committed an early announcement and the game, at this point, is far from the final project they wanted to achieve. Still, instead of releasing the game under the current ideas, they have taken the risky decision to delay it, something that many players saw coming.

At the moment, we don’t know much about the project beyond this conception of the sci-fi genre more classic and conservative, very close to the artistic style of the genre in the 80s; although the team leaves the door open to different tests with players.
