As previously hinted by the band, 'Arcade' marks the beginning of a "new era". Souls Of Diotima have undergone a significant directional change, a bold evolution that the members have chosen to keep under wraps. The true nature of this sonic transformation will remain a secret until the first single officially drops.

To capture this new vision, the band headed to Sweden to record at the legendary Studio Bohus in Kungälv. The album was fully produced by Oscar Nilsson, Thomas "Plec" Johansson, and Mikko Viitala. The visual identity of 'Arcade' is just as striking, featuring cover art by Rhett Podersoo.
