ARC Raiders Is the Extraction Shooter Everyone’s Watching This October
If you haven’t already heard, ARC Raiders is officially landing this October — and trust me, this is one game you’ll want on your radar. It’s not just another sci-fi shooter; it's the eighth most wishlisted title on Steam right now, and for good reason. Developed by Embark Studios, ARC Raiders has been quietly building hype over the past year, and after being showcased at the Summer Game Fest, the release date is finally locked in: October 30, 2025.

So what makes this game stand out in the crowded world of PvPvE shooters? Well, for starters, the setting is wildly immersive. Picture this: humanity has retreated to a vast underground colony called Speranza, trying to survive while the surface is overrun by ARC — a relentless swarm of mechanized enemies that literally drop from orbit. You step into this chaos as a Raider, risking everything to scavenge the surface for vital resources while navigating through deadly machines and — here's the twist — other players, all fighting for survival and loot.
It’s gritty, it’s tense, and it’s tactical. You’re not just spraying bullets here. Every mission is a high-stakes gamble that requires smart planning, creative use of gadgets, and rock-solid teamwork. And once you do manage to extract safely, the real game begins: trading with Speranza's merchants, crafting new gear, expanding your quarters, and shaping your Raider to fit your unique playstyle.
According to executive producer Aleksander Grøndal, the recent tech test played a major role in refining the experience. Players provided sharp feedback, which led to improved performance, bug fixes, and better onboarding for new players. Embark Studios isn’t treating this like a one-and-done title, either — they’ve made it clear they’re committed to expanding the game post-launch with more locations, enemies, gear, and quests.
Coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, ARC Raiders is launching into a competitive window, right next to Bungie’s Marathon , but it’s holding its own by focusing on atmosphere, precision gameplay, and community-driven evolution. If you’ve been craving an extraction shooter that doesn’t just recycle the same old mechanics, this might be the one to watch — and to play — when October rolls around.
I’ve got this one marked on my calendar already.
