Arc Raiders has had an incredible 2 months since launch and become one of the biggest multiplayer hits of the year. But, what does 2026 hold for the game? Here is what we know.
We will keep this page updated throughout the year as Embark reveal more about the game.
Arc Raiders has confirmed the roadmap for the first third of the year.
- January 2026 – Headwinds Update (Solo vs Squads matchmaking, Trophy Display Project, Bird City map event)
- February 2026 – Shrouded Sky (New Map Condition, New Arc, Player Project, Raider Deck, Map Update/Refresh, Expedition Window Opens)
- March 2026 – Flashpoint (New Map Condition, New Arc, Player Project, Update to Scrappy)
- April 2026 – Riven Tides (New Map, New Large Arc, New Map Condition, Expedition Window Opens)
Embark should hopefully start detailing the 2026 roadmap soon in more detail, especially when it comes to the bigger updates, as they work to release the first major content updates of the year. In fact, they have already teased several new maps for 2026 offering varied experiences and of various sizes.
In an interview with GamesRadar, design lead Virgil Watkins said:
“The ambition is to try to pair it with some new type of experience, whether that’s the map conditions or weather conditions we put in that make the play feel different, enemy types or compositions feeling different, or we’re escalating the types of loot available there. Stella Montis was a big jump up in new, rarer tech and some new blueprints and things that can drop, and just offering new types of experiences. The Shredder, for example, is an enemy that currently only appears in Stella Montis.”
