ARC Raiders launch trailer premieres on Embark Studios' YouTube channel
Embark Studios has posted the launch trailer for ARC Raiders. The multiplayer extraction shooter is set in a future wartime scenario, tinged with retro-futuristic aesthetic flourishes.

Players take on the role of a Raider within the underground society of Speranza, where traders facilitate the crafting, repairing, and upgrading of gear. Taking to the surface, Raiders scavenge for resources and battle a mysterious mechanized threat known as ARC. Map conditions change, with varying weather and enemy patterns adding unpredictability to each run.


Music is by Battlefield V composers Patrik Andrén and Johan Söderqvist. "Every track is carefully constructed to support the game’s tactile, sci-fi setting," writes Andrén, "evoking echoes of 70s space cinema while standing firmly in a modern interactive landscape." The single "Themes from ARC Raiders" is hosted on Bandcamp and Apple Music.

ARC Raiders is scheduled for release on Thursday for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows through Steam. The 'Soundscapes' sound design preview is streaming on the official YouTube channel.


From the music composer's website:
The ARC Raiders soundtrack fuses analog synths, vintage textures, and modular rig experimentation to deliver a retro-futuristic score rooted in both tension and wonder. Every track is carefully constructed to support the game’s tactile, sci-fi setting, evoking echoes of 70s space cinema while standing firmly in a modern interactive landscape.
