ARC Raiders China Test Reveals 2 New Map Modes as Embark Prepares Separate 2026 Version

  • Chinese-version tests for ARC Raiders have surfaced 2 unannounced map conditions: “Rebellion Incident,” which appears to disable friendly-fire by default, and “Double King,” which seems to spawn 2 bosses on one map.
  • Player-shared screenshots and forum translations indicate Rebellion Incident lets users opt into betrayal; once they do, the game flags them as traitors and marks them for the lobby.
  • The same translated posts describe that mode as lower difficulty but rich in resources, while alternate labels such as “Safe Zone” and “Dual Boss” have also appeared in circulation.
  • Embark Studios is preparing a separate amended version for China, a common step for shooters entering the market, and the test has fueled speculation that more PvE-focused content could reach the wider game.
Will ARC Raiders' China-exclusive 'traitor' mode fundamentally change the game for players worldwide?
As extraction shooters embrace PvE, are ARC Raiders' new modes the next evolution for the genre?
