Next time you play Arc Raiders, try ringing a bell each time you engage in PvP, or salivating whenever you get shot in the head – apparently, a distinguished neurology professor told developer Embark Studios' CEO Patrick Söderlund his game is a big psychological deal.
"I've read a bunch of articles saying the Arc Raiders is almost like a social experiment, and it kind of is, and I love that," Söderlund tells IGN in a recent interview. "I genuinely love the fact that that's what it is. I actually had a conversation at dinner three days ago with a very prominent professor in neurology that had gotten to know about the game, and said, 'Listen, you have no idea what you've built. Forget about the game itself.'"
