Embark Studios Reveals First Half of 2026 Roadmap for ARC Raiders
-

Embark Studios has unveiled the first half of its 2026 roadmap for ARC Raiders, its hit third-person extraction shooter. Following blockbuster success—over 12 million copies sold since its October launch—the studio is rolling out new content to keep players engaged through April.
The January 27 update will introduce a new matchmaking option for level 40+ players, along with a minor map condition and a player project. February’s Shrouded Sky update adds another map condition, a new ARC threat, raider deck changes, and expedition content. March brings more map conditions and player projects, while April’s Riven Tides update promises a new map, likely called Volcano Rise, and a massive ARC enemy, sparking speculation players will finally face the Emperor.
Embark continues to cement itself as a top studio in the shooter genre, keeping the ARC Raiders community excited for months ahead.
