Extraction shooter from The Finals studio follows Helldivers 2 and Concord by ditching free-to-play ahead of 2025 launch: "We can give out more rewards" this way

Arc Raiders was revealed in 2021 as a free-to-play, third-person co-op shooter from the former Battlefield and Battlefront folks at new studio Embark. After multiple delays it has now evolved into a full-fat, premium model extraction shooter blending PvPvE and eyeing a 2025 release date. 

Once positioned as Embark's debut title, Arc Raiders is now the game that will follow The Finals, a free-to-play PvP shooter that was praised for fast gunplay and detailed level destruction following its 2023 release. Embark says it's coming to PC (Steam, Epic, and streaming via Nvidia GeForce Now), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S next year, with the first tech test coming to Steam on October 24 - 27 this year.
