While ARC Raiders was released in the latter half of 2025, developer Embark proved to players that even if the game released near the holidays, they wouldn’t shirk on providing excellent post-release support.
The developers aim to continue that this year, as they’ve released the ARC Raiders roadmap for January to April, 2026.Same as the content drops from last year, these monthly major updates that aims to add new content will be to everyone who owns the game.
Embark calls the next four months of post-release content as “Escalation,” and there’s a lot of gameplay improvements planned as well.

That’s not all. Embark also promises new quests, new feats, trials & events and new gameplay items, cosmetics, quality-of-life updates and more. These items should be part of each major update, or even be a standalone mini-event for the game.
