World & Lore

In the shadow of a fallen Earth, fragments of humanity cling to life among the wreckage of the old world.

ARC Raiders unfolds in a retro-futuristic dystopia — where the glow of forgotten technology meets the grit of survival.

Every raid, every skirmish, every spark of defiance adds to the story of the Resistance.

Earth Reclaimed by the Machines

The collapse came swiftly. The skies turned cold with metallic storms as autonomous constructs — the ARC — descended from orbit.

Cities fell silent. Nature reclaimed what industry left behind. Among the rust and overgrowth, survivors learned to scavenge, rebuild, and fight back.

Every structure tells a story of a past civilization — its glory, and its fall.

The Raiders and the ARC

The Raiders

🧍‍♂️Human survivors organized into scattered cells.

🧍‍♂️Use salvaged tech, guerrilla tactics, and teamwork.

🧍‍♂️Driven by hope, memory, and resistance.

The ARC

Autonomous machines with unknown origin.

Operate in hive-like formations from orbit.

Driven by cold logic and relentless expansion.

Echoes of the Past

Once, humanity reached for the stars. Now, it hides beneath them.

The first ARC assault obliterated every line of defense. Satellite networks went dark; governments collapsed.

From the ashes rose the Raiders — remnants of engineers, soldiers, and dreamers bound by defiance.

They seek fragments of lost technology, hoping to uncover what the ARC truly is — and perhaps, how to end it.
