In an interview, Patrick Söderlund spoke about working on Battlefield in the past, and how excited he is for the release of ARC Raiders.
Early builds of ARC Raiders not quite being fun also ultimately led to the decision at Embark Studios to pivot from PvE to PvPvE.
The server slam will be available for three days on all platforms to stress-test servers ahead of the game's October 30th launch.
A new cinematic trailer showcases the post-apocalyptic landscape, adversity between raiders and potential cooperation against the Arc.
The next technical test runs from April 30th to May 4th and features additional ARC enemy types, weapons, gear, and more.
Embark Studios expects the competitive shooter to grow "with more players than ever" and a version that "just gets better and better."
The test includes new enemies, expanded progression, additional gear, and a preview of the extraction shooter's Battle Pass.
Embark Studios reveals work-in-progress gameplay from last month's tech test, highlighting how the extraction shooter works.
ARC Raiders is switching from its originally-planned free-to-play model to a premium model, where the game will be priced at $39.99.
The PvEvP extraction shooter was announced in 2021 and could finally receive some new gameplay, if not a proper release date.
The latest update for THE FINALS revolves around minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
The development team also looks to change the Stun Gun and cloaked player visibility, though these will go live in Update 2.6.
Three new gadgets - Gateway, Data Reshaper and the Reverse Gravity Cube - and the Dematerializer Specialization lend even more chaos to matches.
Recon Senses also nerfed, Career Rank gains ten more levels with rewards, and Ranked Tournament Access now requires playing 45 rounds.
Embark Studios is also working on changes to Recon Senses for the Medium build, which should go live in next week's update.
Nerfs to Cloaking Device, Mesh Shield, Recon Sense, C4, RPG and Gas Mine are also live, in addition to improved cheat detection.
The free-to-play competitive shooter shadow-dropped for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC on December 7th at The Game Awards 2023.
THE FINALS is getting quite a few changes for the sake of balance in its latest update, along with some bug fixes.
Like any shooter that gets popular, THE FINALS has seen quite a few cheaters pop up over the last weekend.
Participating in unranked Tournaments will require six completed matches instead of 12, and movement should feel closer to the open beta.
