Arc Raiders devs spent 3 years fighting "on a daily basis" over whether it was "a battle royale," "a hero looter shooter," "a co-op Soul game," or "a co-op Shadow of the Colossus game"
Developers at Embark Studios spent three years internally debating the core genre of Arc Raiders, with discussions ranging from battle royale to a co-op Shadow of the Colossus-like experience. After a significant reset and focusing on its foundation as an extraction shooter, the game has achieved significant commercial success, selling 14 million copies in its first three months.
