There is a touch of solemnity in his tone when discussing the broader industry landscape, which has been devastated by persistent layoffs and closures over the last two years. In contrast, Embark finds itself in the enviable position of having a substantial financial cushion.

“The revenue from Arc Raiders provides us with long-term sustainability,” Söderlund explained, noting that this success translates directly into job security for his staff. “We are actively expanding, bringing on new talent, and deepening our commitment to both Arc Raiders and The Finals. Beyond that, we have two additional projects in the pipeline that we’re eager to bring to fruition.”

“Refining the experience”: Arc Raiders has lowered the Expedition requirement to 3 million coins, while allowing players to reclaim missed skill points from previous events for a nominal fee.
