Two very different shooters hit the market in October 2025, but they share more DNA than you’d expect. First is Battlefield 6, the latest instalment of Battlefield Studios and EA’s large-scale warfare combat. Then there’s Arc Raiders, scaring people away because of its PvPvE extraction shooter genre. However, Embark Studios, a team made up of former DICE developers, has gone to great lengths to make the genre more appealing.
Knowing that, the comparison between the games goes deeper than first impressions. Both games spring from the same philosophy of systems-heavy, cinematic shooters that set the stage with immersive scale and dynamic events.
