Patrick Söderlund’s Embark Studios Teases Reveal Of First Game

The first game from Embark Studios, a veteran team led by former EA and Dice head Patrick Söderlund, is set to be revealed this week. Arc Raiders is the title of the game. We got a look at what we can expect from it in a mysterious teaser video.

The video is one of those “trailer for the trailer” as it states a full reveal is slated for Thursday, December 9. Hey, that’s the same day as The Game Awards — what a funny coincidence. The video shows some third-person shooting, a woman calling for volunteers, and an “Enlist. Resist” tagline. Watch the video teaser below.

We first caught wind of Embark’s new game last November, when the studio began hiring for a PvP team-based shooter and shared concept art of the project. It seems safe to assume that Arc Raiders is this project, but we’ll find out for sure soon enough. Embark was formed in 2018 after Söderlund departed EA earlier that same year. The company has around 200 employees and is located in Stockholm, Sweden. The company’s mission statement, according to its website, is “to blur the line between playing and making,” and many of the posts have centered on showcasing development tools.

This is the first tease we have seen for Arc Raiders. What are your thoughts? Do you have any guesses about what game it might be? Comment your ideas!
