Embark Studios has revealed an official roadmap for Arc Raiders covering the rest of 2025, featuring substantial updates for November and December. The plan includes new maps, enemies, community events, quests, and more to build on the extraction shooter's strong launch momentum. This follows the game's release on October 30, 2025, across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Overview of the Roadmap
Arc Raiders, the PvPvE extraction shooter from Embark Studios, launched on October 30, 2025, and quickly gained traction with over 300,000 concurrent players on Steam. In response to its success, the developer shared a roadmap via social media accounts, outlining content for the remaining months of 2025. The updates aim to enhance gameplay with new environments, challenges, and progression options, similar to the frequent events seen in Embark's previous title, The Finals.
November: North Line Update
The November 'North Line' update introduces the new map, Stella Montis, expanding the game's world for raids and extractions. Players will face two new Arc enemies, adding variety to AI threats. A community-unlock event allows collective progress to reveal rewards, alongside new quests and items to discover during matches. These additions focus on exploration and teamwork in the extraction loop.
December: Cold Snap Update
December's 'Cold Snap' update brings a snowfall map condition, altering visibility and tactics across existing areas. The 'Flickering Flames' event offers limited-time objectives, complemented by additional quests and a new raider deck for progression. For the first time, a departure window provides an optional character reset, giving players flexibility to restart without losing core progress.
This roadmap signals Embark Studios' commitment to ongoing support, with each month delivering at least one major feature. While details on the community event remain sparse, the overall plan promises to keep the game's emergent, high-stakes gameplay fresh amid its growing player base.
