For a game like ARC Raiders, releasing interesting merchandise that sells out in minutes should be easy. Its cassette-futuristic aesthetics, mixed with a wide array of items that each seem to have character and personality, give the publisher a long list of ideas. My wallet was ready for a retro-futuristic helmet, a 3D-printed raider figurine, a miniature box of Complex Gun Parts, anything. But then ARC Raiders revealed the first batch of official merch, and I was like, "Ah! Sure. That's even better."
Embark Studios' Swedish modesty is the first thing you notice when you enter the ARC Raiders store. No flashy banners, no timers, no extravagant marketing: click here to see new arrivals or here for bestsellers. The merch itself is not over-the-top either: a bunch of T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies, seven in total, with the recognizable four-colored ARC printed on them. Prices start at $31 USD and go up to $70. There is also a stylish, branded cap that's supposed to hit shelves this January. But that's not all. The shop has one non-apparel item, which I'm dying to add to my collection.
