The developer Arc Raiders Embark Studios, apparently, reacted to reports that Arc Raiders is subjected to censorship in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 lobby.
A Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 beta It has been living for several days, and the Reddit post began on the weekend, which, according to the visible, showed the words “arc raiders”, appearing only as stars in the lobby of chat chat. This was confirmed by our colleagues in PC GamerWhich found that you can print “arcs” and “raiders” in separate messages, but when it is printed together, they will look subjected to censorship.
Arc Raiders are censored in Black OPS 7 Beta Lol from R/Arcraiders
Now it is natural to assume that it was an impudent attempt Activation To censor the name of one of the future competitors, and this is possible, this is so, but if so, why not a censor, you know, Battlefield 6? In the distance, the most direct and formidable competition Black Ops 7.
For his part, Activision said (through the PC GEMER) that censorship was just a mistake related to Lobbies text filters.
Meanwhile, My city Now reports that censorship has been fixed and that you can enter the Arc Raiders into Black OPS 7 without problems. I can independently confirm that the spectacles were not present when I scored the name of the game in the Black Ops 7 lobby on a PC.
Error or not, choose all this with a step, jokes on X: “We are still on the way to the release *** ******* October 30!” There is also an advertising image of Arc Raiders, attached, where the name of the game is subjected to censorship. Good things.

I think that I am inclined to give the Activision advantage of doubt here, as far as I never thought that I would say this. Again, why, apparently, only ARC Raiders, an arrow of extracting from a much smaller independent studio at Stockholm based? In addition, Activision was supposed to know that an attempt to censor the name of the game is only inevitable to attract more Attention to this game with the help of chatter on social networks and news articles like this. I have to believe that Activision is smarter than this.
I don’t know, it seems to me like any activation of software for filtering the text used for the Black Ops 7 lobby, they simply had “Arc Raiders” in a bad list for what reason. But I am also very inclined to conspiratorial thinking as a whole. In any case, I am glad to see that the developers of Arc Raiders are not too offended.
