Alright, so picture this: You know those moments when you’re sitting there, just hoping desperately for something to happen, like when you’re waiting for toast to pop? That’s kinda what happened at the Summer Game Fest. All these folks, self-proclaimed Arc Raiders die-hards, were on the edge — just clinging to the hope that something big would drop. And poof, it did. Well, sorta.
Back in May, they held that second Tech Test — which, by the way, was enough to make some people refuse to leave their gaming chairs. The game was just that slick. Like, smooth like butter on a hot skillet. People were practically begging, “Just release it already!” But nope, not today. Instead, we got… wait for it… a release date! A date! Cue the applause, or maybe that was just my neighbor clapping for his cat.
And sure, there were those dreamers who thought another beta test was just around the corner. Sorry to burst that bubble — they gotta wait. Bummer for the ones who missed Tech Test 2. They’ve been stuck watching streams and reading Reddit threads, probably feeling like they’re outside a party, pressing their noses to the window.
But hey, here’s the kicker. Mark your calendars because October 30, 2025, is THE day for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S peeps. Okay, maybe jot it on your fridge sticky note if you’re old school like me. Apparently, this version will build on the Tech Test 2 magic, but jury’s out on just how much will change. Not that it needed a ton of work — it’s already got this wild, nostalgic vibe. Kind of reminds me of those endless nights playing PUBG back in the day. You know the ones.
Oh, and speaking of nostalgia, Embark — the brains behind Arc Raiders — has this cute little bromance with Geoff Keighley. They dropped their first game, “The Finals,” it was like a surprise gift at the 2023 Game Awards. So honestly, almost everyone had their antennae up for what might come this summer.
Anyway — there you have it. That’s the lowdown. If this feels like a rollercoaster of thoughts, it probably is, but hey, that’s life, right?
