I feel that the only thing I have seen in recent days, ask people if Marathon will be the game that finally brings extraction shooters to the mainstream. Nobody seems to be pretty sure, especially since it is not ready or off. The thing is, it is not the only extraction shooter who will come to the test this year, because Arc Raiders is still a way. After all, it comes from former battlefield developers, who have found success with their other shooter, the final. And earlier today, developer Studios stated that another play test for Arc Raiders is on the road this month.
Registering for the Playtest is fairly easy SteamYou just have to go to the page of the game and ask access to the beta. The test itself runs from April 30 to May 4. Not everyone will be able to try it out, I have to notice, it’s happiness of the trek, but if you feel happy and you are curious if extraction shooters can make the mainstream, it’s worth it.
In a press release it shared on board that they have taken a number of feedback from the last test and have implemented a number of “tweaks and improvements”. They have also added more arch enemies (bad robots that have taken over most of the world), as well as weapons and equipment. The progression of players and craft systems are apparently also “deeper” now, and there will be an example of what the game of the game will be like.
I really like the Vibes from Arc Raiders. A bit of a stereotypical “people hide in small settlements because robots have destroyed the planet” kind of premise, although it looks good movingAnd I dig the specific taste of a post-apocalypse setting.
However, that is the thing, Marathon also looks good in motion and plays well based on most previews. There are some specific complaints that people have about marathon (namely a disturbing lack of content in the launch), which raises further questions about whether it is the one who will make a notorious tough genre such as extraction shooters popular.
To be honest, I can’t say how things will shake. Games such as Hunt: Showdown and Escape from Tarkov are still very well drifting, maybe it doesn’t have to be a hugely popular genre. I think we have an idea towards the end of the year!
