It's Arc Raiders , the upcoming extraction shooter from Embark Studios.
In an interview with Edge Magazine ( h/t PCGamesN), developer Embark ( The Finals) revealed that even though there was some joy to be had in early builds of Arc Raiders when it was just a PvE game, the team eventually had to admit to itself that the "game [was] not fun."
