Arcadegeddon 

Arcadegeddon is a unique blend of PvP and PvE mechanics and after more than a year in early access, the game is finally releasing soon. But what do we know about the shooter ahead of the Arcadegeddon release date?

Illfonic is known for crafting unique PvP experiences and Arcadegeddon is no different. The game offers up a number of different PvP challenges which players then tackle together, ranking up the leaderboards and gaining loot and rewards on the way. Pair that with a vibrant neon colour scheme and a story about saving yourself from the grips of a mega-corporation and you have a fascinating blend of ideas.

This article will cover everything there is to know about the game, its gameplay and the features it brings to the genre, alongside the Arcadegeddon release date on both consoles and PC!

Arcadegeddon Release Date

Arcadegeddon’s release date is set for July 5, 2022. The game will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC after being in early access for more than a year.

The game will also reportedly be a part of the PS Plus July 2022 free games lineup.

We have seen a lot of Arcadegeddon gameplay thanks to the game being in early access for a while. The early access launch trailer gives you a good idea of the set-up to the world though.
