Others are particularly disgruntled, as they believe the original vision had a lot of potential and that it was likely changed due to the current popularity of some extraction-shooter titles. There have been numerous similar sentiments from gamers in which they state that they were very excited about the game following its reveal trailer, but lost interest upon learning about the game's direction shift and/or seeing it in action in the recent leak. The overall reaction to the leak online has been far from positive. As many have pointed out, it's a stark difference from the original trailer that, though edited, did show a lot of moments of fast-paced firefights with high quality explosions and destructibility. The twenty-or-so minutes of gameplay is mostly the player walking around, hitting things with a pickaxe, and collecting resources, with some scarce moments of action in between.

However, in May, the game's developers, Embark Studios, put out a press release confirming, among other things, that the game's focus had shifted into a PvPvE extraction shooter.

The Nexon-published game, ARC Raiders was first revealed during the 2021 Game Awards to a generally positive reception but, following a gameplay leak from its recent closed Alpha playtest, the general sentiment around the game has changed quite considerably.ĪRC Raiders was originally presented as a high-octane explosive third-person co-op shooter, where players teamed up to battle large machine enemies within a grounded sci-fi setting.
