Embark Studios has delayed the ARC Raiders Expedition from its original December 20 date to a new window starting December 17, 2025. The event will feature a progress wipe for certain player elements while preserving others. Players can sign up during the specified period for the extraction shooter experience across multiple platforms.
Event Overview
The ARC Raiders Expedition, a key upcoming feature for the popular extraction shooter ARC Raiders, has been postponed by developer Embark Studios. Originally set for December 20, 2025, the sign-up window now runs from December 17 to December 22, 2025, with the caravan departure occurring on December 22, 2025. This adjustment aims to refine the experience for participants in the Rust Belt exodus storyline.
Progress Wipe Explained
As the first wipe in this multiplayer title, the Expedition will reset several player progressions to maintain balance typical of the genre. Items lost include blueprints, skill trees, player levels, stashes, workshops, and crafting capabilities. However, permanent upgrades such as inventory space, XP boosts for slots, and skill points will carry over, allowing players to retain some advancements.
How to Participate
To join, players must sign up via the official site during the December 17-22 window. Access is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox platforms, with keys distributed for regions including NA, EU, and Asia. Embark Studios encourages early commitment to secure a spot in this hyped event.
