Check out the debut title from Patrick Söderlund's Embark Studios

Arc Raiders is a new free-to-play co-op shooter and the debut game from Embark Studios, which was founded by former EA and Battlefield boss Patrick Söderlund.

The game's announcement trailer shows off some beautifully detailed and photorealistic environments with dynamic lighting systems setting very different moods from scene to scene. The trailer starts with a squad of Raiders dealing with a few hostile drones, but by the end they're fighting off a massive, spider-like mecha.

"We started Embark Studios three years ago with a blank canvas and some big ideas. Today, that canvas is a lot less blank and those ideas are becoming realities," said Söderlund. "With this reveal, we want to celebrate gameplay and give players more than a hint of how Arc Raiders looks and what it feels like to play. Ultimately for a co-op action game like Arc Raiders, that's what matters the most. We look forward to sharing more about the game in the coming months."

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
