Arc Raiders concluded its first PvE mode test after months of player requests. Feedback proved largely favourable, but Embark Studios has not confirmed whether the mode will return permanently. The developer stated it must first determine the extent of ongoing need.
PvE Test Results
The limited test marked the first time Arc Raiders offered a dedicated PvE experience separate from its core extraction gameplay. Participants reported generally positive impressions, though detailed metrics remain undisclosed.
Embark's Position
“We need to understand what the need is here”
No timeline has been given for a decision on permanent addition. The studio appears focused on further internal review before committing resources.
