ARC Raiders Could Eventually Split PvE and PvEvP Into Separate Modes

Embark Studios will test a dedicated PvE experience in ARC Raiders from October 13 to October 20, letting players fight ARC enemies without PvP. Executive producer Aleksander Grøndal said a permanent split is "very possible," though matchmaking and progression balance remain concerns.

• PvE test runs October 13–20, 2026
• Grøndal says a permanent split is "very possible"
• The game began development as a co-op PvE title
• A permanent PvE mode has not been confirmed
