{"title":"Arc Games","description":"\u003cp\u003eArc Games began life in 2008 as Perfect World Entertainment, the North American publishing arm of Beijing-based Perfect World, established to bring its parent company's online games to western players. The company quickly grew beyond that remit into a free-to-play publishing powerhouse: it acquired Cryptic Studios from Atari in 2011, taking stewardship of Star Trek Online and launching Neverwinter in 2013, two online worlds it still operates more than a decade later. It also backed Runic Games, publisher of the beloved Torchlight action-RPGs, and in 2019 proved it could land a premium hit when it published Gunfire Games' Remnant: From the Ashes, a souls-inspired co-op shooter that became one of the year's breakout successes and grew into a full franchise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe corporate turns that followed reflect the consolidation wave of the early 2020s. Embracer Group acquired Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios in a deal completed in 2022, folding the publisher into the Gearbox Entertainment Company as Gearbox Publishing San Francisco. When Take-Two Interactive agreed to acquire Gearbox's core studios in 2024, the San Francisco publishing team remained with Embracer and relaunched that April under a new name: Arc Games, taking its identity from the long-running Arc games platform. Today the California-based publisher manages a catalogue spanning the Remnant series, Star Trek Online, Neverwinter and Gigantic: Rampage Edition - a mix of enduring live-service worlds and modern action-RPGs that keeps its two-decade publishing lineage in active rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"remnant-from-the-ashes-pc-steam-digital-download","title":"Remnant: From the Ashes","description":"\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eRemnant: From the Ashes is a third-person survival action shooter from Gunfire Games, set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by the Root, an ancient evil from another dimension. As one of the last remnants of humanity, you set out alone or alongside up to two fellow survivors to face down hordes of deadly enemies, carve out a foothold, and take back what was lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA World Consumed by the Root\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHumanity is barely holding on, but it still commands one crucial advantage: the technology to open portals into other realms and alternate realities. You travel through them to trace the Root back to its source, scavenging resources and fighting for every inch of ground along the way. The ruins of Earth are only the first stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFour Realms That Never Repeat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the game's four worlds is dynamically generated, reshuffling maps, enemy encounters, quest opportunities and in-world events every time you play through them. A re-rolled campaign can surface bosses, dungeons and rewards you never met on your first run, which keeps exploration tense and repeat playthroughs genuinely fresh. Adapt and explore, or die trying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScavenge, Upgrade, Specialize\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombat rewards preparation as much as reflexes. Overcoming tough-as-nails enemies and epic bosses earns experience, valuable loot and upgrade materials, and all of it feeds a build that is distinctly yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssemble a wicked arsenal of guns, melee weapons and armor, then push each piece further with the upgrade materials you scavenge across hostile environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlot weapon modifications to change how an encounter plays out, including hard-earned mods claimed from the world bosses you manage to bring down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproach each fight dozens of ways: hold the line with rifle and revolver, or wade in with hammer and shotgun when the horde closes ranks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStronger Together\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInvading other worlds to seek an end to the Root is dangerous, and survival is far from guaranteed. Team up with up to two other players and the odds shift: enemies grow tougher in a full party, but coordinated fire, timely revives and complementary builds are what crack the game's hardest challenges and unlock its greatest rewards. Solo runs, in turn, stay tight, readable and entirely yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Root is patient, but the portals are open and humanity needs every survivor it can field. Pick up Remnant: From the Ashes, learn its worlds one hard-won fight at a time, and claim your place in mankind's last stand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arc Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31428393599062,"sku":"PC_4410121945174_DL_GL","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/3268\/files\/card-remnant-from-the-ashes-pc-game.jpg?v=1787962501"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.pjsgames.com\/collections\/arc-games.oembed","provider":"PJ's Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
