Against the backdrop of frequent data mining of game content, developer Embark Studios took a radical measure after the technical tests - directly deleted key files in the game client to protect the undisclosed content of "ARC Raiders".

With the official end of the technical test of "ARC Raiders", Embark Studios did not retain the regular game files for players to explore, but instead pushed a special update package to completely clear all important data in the client.Screenshots posted by netizen Scrappy confirmed that a large number of files in the client have been removed after the update.

What is even more intriguing is that the developer also left a .exe executable file, which will display the following information after running:

The top string is decoded by Base64 and displayed as "2025/xx/yy". Although the specific date has not been leaked, it is confirmed that the game will be released within this year.

While such measures may not completely prevent data mining behavior, they set a precedent.Some people believe that data mining can help the game build momentum, but Embark Studios obviously prefers to maintain the mystery of the content - the previous update file of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6" season 3 leaked the information that the wall running mechanism is about to return, and even allowed players to activate the function in advance by modifying the file.
