Arc Raiders devs reveal plans for "new large Arc", a fresh map, and two more Expeditions this spring

Escalation present underway, frosty upwind to continue

Har(c)ken to me, defenders of Speranza! Embark person conscionable announced their plans for ARC Raiders updates implicit the archetypal 4 months of 2026. The extraction shooter’s adjacent play is called Escalation, and its offerings scope from caller maps and enemies to caller Raider decks, changes to existing maps, and much Expeditions. The header attraction is surely the “new ample Arc” coming successful April. I wonderment however large Arcs tin get. Perhaps an Arc the size of a map, similar Cronos successful God Of War 3? But, you know, metal?

Let’s interruption it down. The roadmap, I mean, not the caller ample Arc, though yes, decidedly that too. Coming up successful what remains of this month, there’s Headwinds, an update bundle that introduces a caller matchmaking enactment for players implicit level 40, a caller insignificant representation condition, and a caller subordinate project. February brings Shrouded Sky, which encompasses a caller representation condition, Arc threat, subordinate project, and raider deck, unneurotic with a representation update and different Expedition.

March is the clip of Flashpoint, which includes a caller representation condition, Arc force and subordinate project, unneurotic with an update for Scrappy the weird junk-attracting chicken. April, finally, is the period of Riven Tides. There’s different caller representation and representation condition, a 2nd Expedition, and the aforesaid “new ample Arc”. Always bully to extremity the play with a respec grind, though Embark person said they’re trying to marque Expeditions much varied successful future.

Good news, fans of frostbite: Embark aren’t done simulating wintertime conscionable yet. “The Cold Snap has passed, but its information casts a agelong shadow,” the devs constitute successful closing. “Extreme upwind volition proceed to trial Raiders arsenic they scavenge the aboveground for the resources that support Speranza running.” As if that wasn’t harrowing enough, the developers person suggested elsewhere that 1 peculiar force indigenous to the caller Stella Montis portion mightiness yet find its mode to the different maps.
