The much-anticipated Arc Raiders Flashpoint update is just a day away, and it might just be Embark’s final shot at saving the game from a steadily declining player count that it has been experiencing over the past couple of months.
As already revealed by the developers in the Arc Raiders roadmap, the Flashpoint update is set to be a major content drop for the extraction shooter that will bring a series of new additions to the game.
While the detailed patch notes of the Arc Raiders Flashpoint update have not yet been revealed by Embark, we do have a rough idea about what the upcoming patch will bring to the title.
