After Embark Studios’ “playtest battles” and slew of competing plans caused it to pivot Arc Raiders away from its PvE boss-killing roots, it decided to add PvP to spice things up. While the rest isn’t quite history (development was still far from simple), it would be a defining factor in how it became the PvPvE…

Nintendo World Report explains how the original N64 release supported a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, but activating it in this latest digital version of the…
