Embark Studios is evaluating the potential to permanently divide the extraction shooter ARC Raiders into two distinct experiences. While the game currently functions as a PvPvE title on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC, developers are exploring a future where cooperative PvE play and competitive modes exist independently.
Executive producer Aleksander Grøndal stated in an interview with GamesRadar that such a separation is very possible. He noted that the community is already split in its preferences, and the studio aims to respect how players wish to enjoy the game, even if it deviates from the original design.
A limited-time test for an exclusive PvE mode runs from October 13 to October 20. During this period, players can experience a cooperative environment without human threats, though this mode includes specific restrictions and lower-value rewards to balance the lack of PvP tension.
The studio remains cautious, as internal opinions are divided regarding the impact on matchmaking, game economy, and overall tension. Data indicates that 51% of surveyed players are interested in a PvE-only option. Embark Studios emphasizes that this test does not guarantee a permanent change, as the final decision depends on player feedback and performance results.
