Following Embark Studios’ early 2025 reveals for ARC Raiders, the developer has entered a quiet phase ahead of the game’s imminent release. The team, known for The Finals, previously held extensive public testing in April and revealed a launch trailer during Summer Game Fest, but recent communications confirm radio silence until closer to the October 30 launch.

In an update on social media, Embark clarified that no further public demos will occur before release, and the title will skip Gamescom 2025. The studio emphasized its commitment to refining and enhancing the gameplay using feedback from April’s test phase. “We’re channeling all resources into perfecting ARC Raiders and implementing insights from our last trial run,” the statement noted, adding that expectations should remain measured given earlier setbacks.

Players anticipating new previews were advised to wait for the official launch campaign, with Embark promising additional updates in the coming weeks. The developers also expressed gratitude for ongoing community support, stating, “Your enthusiasm fuels our efforts as we approach the finish line.”

Early impressions from Wccftech’s hands-on session highlighted the title’s potential, with previewer Alessio Palumbo calling it a “dynamic fusion of innovation and familiar mechanics” that could carve its niche in the extraction shooter genre. While limited, the playtest reportedly showcased strategic depth and unique combat systems that distinguish it from competitors.
