ARC Raiders is an upcoming third-person extraction shooter being developed and published by Embark Studios for Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S. The gameplay is PvPvE (player versus player versus environment) and can be played in teams of three, two, or played solo. ARC Raiders takes place in a distant future on Earth where mysterious and deadly "ARC" robots have taken over the surface, forcing humanity to live underground. Some residents of the underground city, known as "raiders", choose to go above ground, also known as "the topside" to collect resources to sell. ARC Raiders is an extraction shooter played from third-person.[1] Players leave the underground base and search for items on the planet's surface for 30 minutes. During the raid they will encounter hostile NPC robots along with other human players. When a player is killed, they will lose any equipment and materials they have collected and return to base. Players can escape via evacuation/extraction elevators and metro stations or alternatively use raider hatches (Safer extraction points that require keys to be opened) to return to base when they are done collecting loot.
After returning to the underground base, players can sell items, upgrade their character perks and skills, buy items or craft weapons and items such as gadgets and armor to prepare for the next raid.
When entering a match alone, the matchmaking system generally adjusts to place you against other solo players, making fair and balanced possible PvP encounters common, yet not guaranteed.
