Embark Studios founder Patrick Söderlund addressed the simultaneous release of ARC Raiders and Battlefield 6 in an EDGE Magazine interview. Söderlund served as CEO and later Vice President at DICE for more than a decade before founding Embark. He praised the Battlefield 6 development team and stated the franchise deserves excellence after viewing the latest installment.
ARC Raiders launches on Oct. 30 as a player versus player versus environment third-person extraction shooter. Embark's debut title, THE FINALS, shares more similarities with Battlefield through first-person gameplay and environmental destruction mechanics. The studio released THE FINALS in December 2023 and committed to supporting the game for multiple years ahead.
Söderlund explained Embark reviews development annually and observed player engagement increase last spring. The executive sees no reason to discontinue support for THE FINALS over the next five years. Season 8 arrived last month with additional weapons and enhanced physics destruction systems.
