Arc Raiders Stays Quiet on Permanent PvE Mode After Test

Embark has closed the first test of a dedicated PvE mode for Arc Raiders, a feature players had been asking for over several months. It was the studio's first real look at how a player-versus-environment experience would sit alongside the game's existing format.

Reaction to the test has been largely favourable. That positive response has not yet led to a decision, though. Embark has not said whether PvE will come back as a lasting addition, so players are left unsure whether the test was a short trial or an early preview of something permanent.

The silence is the main story here. Studios that are happy with a test usually say so quickly, and the lack of an announcement suggests the team is still weighing how a dedicated mode would affect the game's design and its plans for the months ahead. Until Embark says more, the future of PvE in Arc Raiders remains an open question for the players who asked for it.
