In a recent update, Arc Raiders developers, Embark Studios, shared some information about what fans can expect in the coming month while they wait for the game. Set to release on October 30th, ARC Raiders has interested many gamers with its unique PvPvE gameplay since it was originally announced. In the time since, the game has become playable multiple times, giving players a chance to see how the team has developed since the last update.

ARC Raiders is a game that takes players between the surface and the underground. In their underground workshops, players can craft upgrades to their gear. This gear will be needed for the journey to the surface, which has been ruined and overrun by deadly machines and other players looking to scavenge the same resources. The game boasts varying mechanics during each run to keep the gameplay fresh.

In their news post, the team revealed one last chance to play the game before its release through a Server Slam Open Test running from October 17th to October 19th. The test will be open to all systems and for all players, with a special backpack as a reward for those who participate. It will take place in the Dam Battlegrounds, placing emphasis on the crafting and progression aspects of the game, while also teasing quests that will be completable during the event.

The team also announced that they have opened preorders for the game. Last year, the game shifted from free-to-play to $40, with the developers stating that the new price fit the experience they wanted to provide more. At the same time, the deluxe edition is also available for preorder at $60. The game has received a lot of discussion since it became playable, and this will be another opportunity to see how far the gameplay has come. The Server Slam may be the perfect opportunity to see how the servers and players will look come the game’s release.
