Embark Studios is sitting on a huge hit with ARC Raiders right now, with the game"s sales even outpacing its milestone celebrations. With a new year ahead of it, now the studio has shared a brand-new roadmap that details what players can expect to see in upcoming updates.
The studio says that it"s plan is to deliver one major content update every month going forward. It plans to drop new enemies, maps, conditions, and more through April 2026 alone.
"When we launched in October, we gave you a rundown of our plans for the rest of 2025," said the company today. "We hope this got you excited about what was coming up, and gave you a flavor of how much new content to expect. Since we’re aiming to deliver a content update every month going forward, we want to keep you in the loop."
An update that"s incoming before January"s end, dubbed Headwinds, will see a new matchmaking option for level 40 and above players, leaving newer players with less equipment alone. It will also carry a new minor map condition and a player project to put resources towards.
Next, February will have a bigger update, named Shrouded Sky, that will have a new major map condition, a brand-new ARC robot to defend against, another player project, a new raider deck to earn, an update to the map pool, and kick off the new Expedition window.
March"s Flashpoint update will drop another map condition to weather through in ARC Raiders, as well as a new ARC robot, player project, and even upgrades to Scrappy the chicken. Lastly, the April Riven Tides update is slated to carry a brand-new map, a large ARC robot, a map condition, and yet another Expedition window.
The first update that kicks off this Escalation roadmap should land next week, with what seems to be sandstorms. It looks like the studio has no plans of letting the momentum it built in 2025 die down going forward.
