ARC Raiders 2026 Roadmap
At the time of writing, Embark Studios have not confirmed what is coming to the game in 2026. For now, all we have access to is informed speculation and sort of wish lists.

Embark released the original 2025 roadmap just one day after the game came out, so we're hoping to see the ARC Raiders 2026 roadmap rear its head soon. Here is all we know so far.
ARC Raiders 2026 Roadmap
Image Via Embark Studios.As it stands, Embark has now released everything they had promised in their first roadmap. Following the release of North Line in November, ARC Raiders got its first massive update with Cold Snap bringing the Flickering Flames Project, a new map condition affecting most locations, and the first Expedition.
We're currently still during Cold Snap, which is only ending in December 13. Players have until then to complete the Flickering Flames Event and enjoy the Snowfall map condition, which is likely being removed from the game for the foreseeable future.
The Goalie Raider Deck is a permanent addition, though, so it isn't going anywhere.
What Is Coming
Image Via Embark Studios.We're expecting a more concrete announcement from Embark, and a likely release of the ARC Raiders 2026 Roadmap closer to the end of Cold Snap, so anywhere between now and December 13.
Given their release cadence and the fact that the next Expedition is coming in late February, we will most likely see two updates between now and then. We're expecting the first Premium Raider Deck (Embark have confirmed that these will be cosmetics-only) coming soon.
While new content is always welcome, we would rather see considerable changes to some systems with highly requested features. We're hoping to see Trials reworked to be feasible in Solo without gaming the system, which now has players farming hundreds of points in a single challenge and making it impossible for solo players to promote in higher ranks.
Given the widespread backlash brought by the 5 million stash value requirement for the 5 bonus Skill Points during ARC Raiders' first Expedition, we would be surprised if this wasn't changed for Expedition 2.
For now, that is all we know about ARC Raiders 2026 Roadmap. We will update this article as soon as Embark releases any official statement, so stay tuned.
