Arc Raiders is bringing back the “horror” feel of dark night raids for launch

Embark pledges to “be better over time” when it comes to AI voices in Arc Raiders

Beyond the ethical concerns of replacing actors with this technology when so many skilled performers are available, it really pulls you out of the game.

These odd vocalizations just don’t fit with the otherwise exceptional audio quality, which deserves awards.

Embark has “experimented” and won’t rule out second life system for Arc Raiders

As a huge fan, I’m really excited to hear that the Arc Raiders team is thinking about ways to keep things fresh! They’ve actually been testing out a ‘second life’ system – basically a way to get back into the action even after you’ve been taken down – and they haven’t said no to adding it to the game. It could become a core part of how the game works, or they might use it for special, limited-time events like the night raids and storms we already love. Either way, it sounds awesome!
