Embark Studios has not finalized plans to retain the PvE mode from its recent test, with executive producer Aleksander Grøndal stating the team is analyzing data to determine its future. The test allowed players to switch to a PvE-only experience for a week, with over 30 million rounds played.
Grøndal noted the studio's historical shift from a PvE-focused design to a PvPvE model, saying, "We need to understand what the need is here" regarding the mode's purpose. Options under consideration include a "chill side mode" or a "full experience with PvE only."
