The co-op sci-fi shooter was revealed at last year's Game Awards, but the release has been pushed back due to the ambitions of the team, led by former EA exec Patrick Söderlund. ORIGINAL STORY 08/08/22: Arc Raiders, from new developer Embark Studios, has been delayed into 2023. It’s a decision that will also allow us to expand and refine the Arc Raiders experience."Īrc Raiders will now include an extra PvP mode, while news on Project Discovery is "due very soon". "As such, we decided to let Project Discovery be our studio’s first game to market, pushing Arc Raiders to a 2023 release. For a young, relatively small studio like ours, releasing two games in short succession would have strained our teams and resources, many of which are shared between the two projects," reads the post. "So much so, that we started facing the prospect of being able to release two games simultaneously. Development of this project has progressed faster than imagined.

In the post, Söderlund notes the developer has several projects in development, including a team-based first-person shooter codenamed Project Discovery.

UPDATE 09/08/22: A blog post from Embark Studios' Patrick Söderlund gives further insight into the Arc Raiders delay.
