ARC Raiders has barely been out for over a day, but the game's devs at Embark Studios have already shown what to expect out of the next two months of content drops.
The living, expanding world of the game will get new content over time, like other live-service games before it, including new maps, new map conditions, new cosmetics, and quality-of-life updates that players may come to expect from a game like this.
It starts in November with the North Line update that includes the new map Stella Montis, and continues into December to close out 2025 with Cold Snap, both of which will add new gameplay elements and different updates to the game as it evolves and heads into the new year.
Here's a peek at what's coming to the game over the next few months, revealed by Embark Studios today:
-
North Line (November)
- New map: Stella Montis
- Community Unlock Event
- New ARC: Matriarch and Shredder
- New gameplay items
- New quests
-
Cold Snap (December)
- Snowfall map condition
- Flickering Flames event
- Expedition Departure Window
- New Raider Deck
- New quests
There's already a solid amount of content that most players have barely scratched the surface of in the game, which rewards exploration and cooperation while also incentivizing players to grief others and steal their loot to enrich themselves on their own journey.
Stella Montis is the first substantial content drop, offering a new location on top of the four already-playable available at launch. Each map offers different loot, enemy types, and quest-specific gear for players to seek out on their expeditions.
And then in December, the game's first "optional wipe" takes place as part of the Expedition Project feature, allowing players to opt in and reset their inventories for new items.
ARC Raiders 2025 roadmap
After the holiday season brings in the new year, Embark Studios will get back to work and continue working on future updates that will keep players coming back over time.
The post ARC Raiders just revealed its roadmap through the end of the year. This game really is just getting started appeared first on Destructoid.
