Nexon announced on the 28th that it has officially launched the extraction adventure game ARC Raiders, developed by its subsidiary Embark Studios, on Nexon.com and as a free-to-play title at Internet cafes.

Following the successful conclusion of the Internet cafe open beta that began on the 21st, Nexon has fully rolled out the Nexon.com service and free Internet cafe access to ensure more domestic players can enjoy ARC Raiders in various environments. Players can purchase ARC Raiders with their Nexon account to access it directly via Nexon.com, or play for free at Internet cafes nationwide without needing to purchase the game separately.

To celebrate the official launch, Nexon is running a special promotion until June 30, offering a 30% discount on both the Standard and Deluxe editions of ARC Raiders on Nexon.com, priced at ₩41k and ₩61,500, respectively.

Additionally, a lucky draw event for Internet cafe users will run until July 7. Players earn one 'Raider Ticket' for every hour of gameplay at an Internet cafe, with a maximum of 3 tickets on weekdays and 5 on weekends. These tickets can be used on the official website to enter draws for high-value physical prizes, including MSI monitors, SteelSeries headsets, iPad Airs, and AirPods Max, as well as various rewards like Nexon Cash.

During the same period, the 'Koko's Special Internet Cafe Supply' event will also be held. Players receive a 10% bonus to EXP and Koko materials, and daily logins and gameplay sessions grant immediate rewards such as Loot Mark 1 and Raider Hatch Keys.

Furthermore, an attendance check event offers a variety of material items, including consumables like Deadlines and Showstoppers, as well as sophisticated firearm parts. Nexon is also hosting community events: until May 31, 30 users who follow the official Korean ARC Raiders Instagram account and leave a comment will be selected to win chicken gift certificates. Additionally, until June 30, users who join the Korean Squad Recruitment Discord server and participate in the event channel will be entered into a draw for ₩5k Naver Pay vouchers.

ARC Raiders, currently enjoying global success, has won five awards at prestigious ceremonies including The Game Awards, The Steam Awards, and the BAFTA Games Awards. On the global review aggregator OpenCritic, it holds a 93% critic recommendation rating and has earned the 'Mighty' badge, the site's highest honor.

The game also maintains a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, with 84% of its approximately 390k user reviews being positive. Within about three months of its release, it has surpassed 16 million units in global cumulative sales and reached a peak concurrent player count of 960,000, earning widespread acclaim from players and critics worldwide.
