Escape from Tarkov boss Nikita Buyanov, now also heading work on sci-fi shooter Fragmentary Order, says Arc Raiders is the "extraction shooter for casual people," which is decidedly not the experience he and developers Battlestate Games and Rant Gaming are pursuing.
Speaking with GamesBeat, Buyanov comments on the prospect of taking cues from Arc Raiders following its explosive launch, which convinced a significant number of people to try out an extraction shooter after games like Escape from Tarkov cultivated a hardcore, arguably unwelcoming reputation for the genre. Simply put: he's not interested.
