PCGamesN••technology
Key Points:
- Embark Studios has confirmed the recent introduction of an aggression-based matchmaking system in Arc Raiders, which matches players based on their tendency toward PvP or PvE behavior.
- The system was implemented to address the diversity in player preferences and community speculation about whether matchmaking accounts for player hostility.
- Arc Raiders remains a PvPvE game where the threat of betrayal is integral, but the new matchmaking aims to group more PvE-oriented players together to reduce unwanted conflict.
- Embark CEO Patrick Söderlund emphasized that while the system influences matchmaking, it is not perfect, and players can still encounter hostile encounters regardless of their playstyle.
- The addition reflects Embark's commitment to balancing the game's core tension of PvP threat with player
