Embark is still weighing whether to make Arc Raiders’ PvE mode permanent

Embark has not decided whether Arc Raiders will get a permanent PvE mode after testing one for the first time.

The test recently ended following months of player requests, and the studio is now reviewing the results.

Arc Raiders began as a co-op game against computer-controlled enemies, but changed into an extraction shooter where players can also fight one another.

That shift has left the game serving players who want different experiences: some enjoy the tension of competing against other players, while others prefer focusing on enemies controlled by the game.

Embark is considering whether PvE should be a relaxed side mode, a harder challenge or a full experience on its own.

The studio wants to support both groups without changing the game’s core idea, and says each option could affect future updates.

Embark has not said when it will decide or whether the mode will return.
