The Evolution of ARC Raiders EP3: Building ARC Machines

December 4, 2025

Hello Raiders,

It’s almost time for our last episode in our series on The Evolution of ARC Raiders. We’ve already explored the early stages of development, as well as how the fully realized game eventually came together. For now, we want to expand on everyone’s favorite worst nightmare, the ARC enemies. 

In episode 3 of our series, the dev team will show how the ARC came to be, from clunky blocks in an engine to terrifying and cunning killing machines. We’ll cover:

  • New tech: How did the team use pioneering new technology to train the earliest ARC robots?
  • Designing ARC: How did the most iconic enemies in ARC Raiders get designed, and what purpose do they serve?
  • Training intelligence: How did the devs use machine learning to simulate real intelligence and tactical thinking in the ARC.

Episode 3 of The Evolution of ARC Raiders is out tomorrow - here’s a taste of what’s to come!

Until then,
The ARC Raiders Team
