The first planned release from Embark Studios needs a bit more time
The announcment was posted to the game’sTwitteraccount, where the team wrote that “Arc Raiders is an ambitious game, and we will be using this extra time to expand the experience, and allow it to reach its fullest potential.” So it goes! When a game needs a bit longer in development, it’s good that it should get that time.
It’s the first planned release from Embark, a development studio set up by former EA executive Patrick Söderlund. Söderlund was CEO of Dice, the Battlefield developers, and it certainly seems from the look we’ve had so far that Arc Raiders carries some of that same DNA.
