ARC Raiders 
The creators of ARC Raiders, Embark Studios, are also the guys behind The Finals. Naturally, since Arc Raiders is the studio’s second game, fans of The Finals are wondering whether the second title shares the same universe.
In ARC Raiders, Earth’s surface has been overrun by mechanized threats known as ARCs. Humanity now lives hiding underground, as players take on the role of raiders who venture topside to scavenge resources. ARC Raiders takes place in post-apocalyptic coastal Italy, a region known as the Rust Belt, with Speranza as the main settlement.
Are ARC Raiders and The Finals connected? (lore explained)
Most likely, but not officially. At least not yet. The connection, however, is strongly implied through thematic links, shared assets, and narrative hints in the games.
- ARC Raiders is set in the year 2180.
- The Finals takes place in 2100.
Lore-wise, the AI apocalypse in ARC Raiders could have happened over the 80 years between games if the two games share the same universe.
The Finals easter eggs in ARC Raiders
Easter eggs in ARC Raiders reference logos/sponsors from The Finals, such as DXZ. You can also find a Raider helmet with the ALFA ACTA logo.
In early alpha footage, a vehicle in ARC Raiders has a Volpe logo.

In ARC Raiders lore, the presence of advanced robotics (ARC machines), underground survival, and corrupted systems could be seen as a potential future outcome of the decadent world shown in The Finals. Some fans theorize that The Finals reality TV show is part of a system that eventually fails, leading to the collapse we see in ARC Raiders.
