Rumor: Positive Playtest Feedback Could Bring PvE Mode to International Arc Raiders

Some fans have long called for a PvE mode to be added.

A separate version of Arc Raiders has been prepared for the Chinese market. Details about its features have reached players in the West, who have grown envious of users in China because Tencent’s regional version received several interesting new additions.

Arc Raiders is a PvPvE shooter in which players embark on raids and can encounter not only AI-controlled robot enemies, but also other humans who may be friendly or hostile.

Some Arc Raiders fans have long called on Embark Studios to add PvE to the game. The international version has not yet received it, but players in China were offered something similar. By default, everyone is friendly in a match, but players can switch to PvP, in which case a red indicator will light up. Judging by the comments, many players in the West liked this concept.

Rumors are circulating within the Arc Raiders community that Embark Studios is now considering introducing a PvE mode into the international version of the game:

Embark Studios is reconsidering the possibility of introducing a PvE mode in ARC Raiders after seeing the success of the Chinese version by Tencent, where players enthusiastically embraced it as an opportunity to relax between intense matches.

The next major update for Arc Raiders, titled “Frozen Trails,” is scheduled for release in October.
