ARC Raiders

In Speranza, everyone has an agenda and the Traders are no different. They’ll send you Topside on missions in exchange for rewards, slowly revealing more about who they are and what they want for Speranza’s future. It’s best to get to know them well, so let’s start out with an introduction.




LANCE

Lance is one of the most talented medics Toledo has on offer. An eccentric, bubbly android, Lance is always trying his best to fit in amongst the humans, regularly singing off-pitch at midnight karaoke, shopping for the newest underground fashion trends, or boxing in Speranza’s fight ring. While amnesia has robbed him of his memories from who he was before he arrived, those trapped memories won’t stay gone forever.


APOLLO

Speranza isn’t Apollo’s first rodeo. A traveling mechanic, Apollo has chosen Speranza as his home for the time being, fixing up whatever Raiders need fixing. While he can at times seem cryptic about his past, Apollo can’t help but try and make wherever he is a better place. Whether that’s running a kids’ football team, or keeping the library stocked with books, Apollo knows there’s more to life than just survival.

TIAN WEN

Most people underground haven’t seen more of Tian Wen than her eyes. Speranza’s resident gun craftsman, Tian Wen is a recluse who seemingly prefers the company of her tools to any human being. She wears her disdain for most Raiders on her sleeve, and only interacts with them out of her own interests. But while she would never admit it, she has a soft spot or two for things in need of repair — action figures, weapons, and sometimes even people.

SHANI

The eagle-eyed head of security for Speranza, Shani has contingency plans for her contingency plans. She is Speranza’s resident ARC expert, and Celeste’s biggest resource when it comes to planning successful skirmishes topside. While most of Speranza’s inhabitants know her to be obsessive, suspicious, and paranoid, Shani doesn’t mind her reputation as long as she’s able to keep her city safe.

CELESTE

A charismatic Raider leader in Speranza, Celeste is the ubiquitous symbol of hope for humanity in the underground. As the leader of the Raiders, she is responsible for keeping morale up, even as the ARC attacks worsen, and when tragedy comes to pass. While she tries to keep the pressure off, you can find her staying up strategizing into the wee hours of the night, furiously playing darts by the bar, and drinking coffee all day to keep her eyes open.

ARC Raiders

Early environment exploration.



“As we were developing the ideas and visuals for the game, a new world set in the far future of the post-post apocalypse, we established some pillars to adhere to. It needed to be grounded to be believable, and inviting to contrast the dark premise. To achieve this, we had to strike a balance, finding the beauty in decay, and weighing the relatable with the imaginative.


We were inspired by brutalist architecture and industrial design, as well as the layers of history that peek through, despite the passing of time. At its core, the presentational aspect is meant to be breathtaking - a celebration of the majesty of nature, which can be felt in the vivid naturalistic lighting, grand skies, and nature reclaiming the influence of man.”

ARC Raiders

Hello again, Raiders!

We’re making room for you in Speranza, quite literally! Here’s an update from the team on what to expect when it comes to lodging:

As every experienced Raider knows, the abandoned wilderness of the Rust Belt is vast and unforgiving. Missions Topside are necessary, but even the tireless Raider needs a place to lay their bruised head - and all their souvenirs - after a long day of gunning down ARC.

Enter, the Raider Den. Shani will be kind enough to lend you a cozy bedroom to call your own. Well, “cozy” might be stretching it. “Bedroom,” too. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a metal cot, peeling decorations, and a door frame with a notable lack of door. But hey, it’s better than living Topside!

Fortunately, you won’t have to live in squalor forever. As you progress through ARC Raiders, your Den will progress with you. As players ourselves, we know how rewarding it is for you to visually see the progress your Raider is making, and the loot they’re accumulating, so our intention with the Den is to do just that. Trinkets you find Topside will litter the floors and the shelves of your den. Your best guns will be proudly displayed on the walls.

The Raider Den screen will be a living representation of your progress. Your highest-value items will be proudly displayed on your shelves. (Even if the most valuable thing you own at the moment is fifteen rubber ducks.) Think of the Den as a bird’s nest for all your trinkets, old world oddities, guns, and fancy weapon attachments.

We plan to continue refining the Den. We’ll also try to get some of those mystery stains off the walls before you get here…
