Arc Raiders executive producer says he 'wasn't completely prepared for how hard' live service would be, warns against burnout

Arc Raiders executive producer Aleksander Grøndal admitted Embark overestimated its capacity for work after transitioning to live service, saying he "wasn't completely prepared for how hard it was." He said the team was exhausted from constantly overshooting its capacity, leading to player drop-off, and that it has since re-evaluated its long-term plan to prioritize quality and work-life balance.
