Exciting news for Arc Raiders players! Starting tomorrow, November 13, the game is slashing prices on store cosmetics. If you’ve already bought items at the old prices, don’t worry—Embark Studios has promised refunds for the difference. The new prices will take effect at 1:30 AM PT / 4:30 AM ET / 9:30 AM GMT.
The official announcement on the Arc Raiders website states they’ve listened to player feedback. Many users felt the cosmetic prices were too high, with some even stating that premium skins cost about half of the game itself. This price drop should bring smiles to many players!
But that’s not all. Embark has also been quietly testing duo matchmaking. This system prioritizes duos pairing up, ensuring more balanced gameplay. However, don’t be surprised if you still encounter mixed teams sometimes.
Currently, there’s one free Raider Deck for all players, but expect both free and premium options in the future. The premium decks will focus on cosmetics and convenience, ensuring there are no pay-to-win items.
Now, let’s talk about the upcoming major update called North Line, launching tomorrow. It introduces a new region known as Stella Montis, which is cold and full of surprises. Expect new quests, weapons, and two new ARCs—Matriarch and Shredder.
Arc Raiders has quickly gained popularity. According to recent reports, the game sold over 4 million copies globally within two weeks of launch. It also hit a peak of 700,000 players online at the same time! This demonstrates its success, despite some controversy surrounding its use of AI.
In a review, IGN praised Arc Raiders for its gripping gameplay and memorable matches. Players can look forward to more content and rewards in the future.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates and keep enjoying your time in Arc Raiders!
