Arc Raiders Finally Drops a Trailer and Announces Server Slam Before Launch

Arc Raiders fans, the day has finally come. After what feels like a million years of waiting (and rewatching old let's plays on a loop), Embark Studios just dropped a brand-new trailer - only one month before the game actually launches. Oh, and in true chaotic fashion, they're also hosting one last "Server Slam" stress test from October 17–19. That means you, me, and every other Arcoholic can dive back into the Dam Battlegrounds for one more weekend of glorious chaos.

The open test is happening across PC (Steam and Epic), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. You'll get a taste of progression, crafting, and quests, though sadly your progress won't carry over. What will carry over? A shiny exclusive backpack cosmetic that screams, "I was here first."

For those who somehow missed the earlier beta: Arc Raiders isn't free-to-play. It's a $40 PvPvE extraction shooter with an art style so dreamy it should be in a museum, and moment-to-moment gameplay that somehow makes other shooters feel like cardboard cutouts. I am personally obsessed with this game and refuse to shut up about it. October 30 cannot come fast enough.

Watch the trailer below:
