Aleksander Grøndal, one of the executive producers, emphasizes the game’s focus on creating an engaging, replayable experience. Stefan Strandberg, co-founder and creative director, describes the game’s inspiration as a reflection of current themes, taking them to their extreme. He envisions a future where humanity is forced to rebuild after a devastating event, facing the challenges of space colonization and the complex relationship between humans and machines.
ARC Legends offers a vibrant and hopeful setting within a perilous world. Players will be drawn into a captivating narrative and immersive gameplay, experiencing the thrill of survival, the intensity of combat, and the satisfaction of building a new future.
