- [MOBILE] Nexon's 'Ark Raiders' is undergoing cross-play support testing.
Nexon announced on the 16th that it will commence the second technical test of 'ARC Raiders,' a PvPvE survival action game being developed by its subsidiary, Embark Studios, starting on April 30.
'ARC Raiders' is an extraction-based game being developed for console and PC packages, set in the post-apocalyptic surface of 'Rust Belt' where giant mechanical life forms called 'ARCs' dominate within an original science fiction universe. Players become 'Raiders' exploring dangerous areas, collecting survival resources, strategizing with fellow 'Raiders' for cooperation or competition to create their own survival methods.

This technical test will run until May 4 on PC and console platforms, supporting cross-play. Testers can pre-register through the official website and Steam store page, while users who participated in previous tests can join automatically without separate registration. The teaser video reveals larger and new 'ARC' machines, various firearms, equipment, and upcoming features to be tested such as the progression system and battle pass.
'ARC Raiders' Executive Producer Aleksander Grøndal stated, "Over the past 6 months, we've expanded the core experience of the game based on internal tests and community feedback," adding, "Through this test, we aim to validate the combat, progression system, cross-play, and listen to user feedback, so we ask for active participation."
Meanwhile, 'ARC Raiders' revealed a trailer at the 2024 global game show 'Gamescom' and aims for a formal release in 2025. It will be available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and through NVIDIA GeForce NOW for cloud streaming.
