Since coming out late October last year, Arc Raiders has been the current hotness in terms of multiplayer shooters. Just recently, it got some extraction-based competition in Marathon, Bungie's new futuristic FPS. Though they share similarities, an exec at Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios believes there's room for both, and he admires the design approach.
"I feel like the game is more PvP prone. PvE doesn't feel like the focus of that game," Patrick Söderlund, CEO and founder of Embark, tells GamesIndustry.biz. "But there are a lot of things in there that I actually like that they've done well. I like that what I do in the game is linked to my progression. There are many things in there that I actually think they've done a good job with."
