In this series, I compare 27 Extraction Shooter games that are available to play now or in development. In this episode (Part 1), I introduce all 27 games. In later episodes, I will look at how the games compare and whether there is room in the genre for ARC Raiders now that Embark Studios have announced a genre change for the game to a PvPvE Extraction Shooter.

Link to my spreadsheet listing in-depth details for all the game:
