ARC Raiders is planning a long-term, live-service arc with a focus on continuous updates, maps, cosmetics, and quality-of-life improvements, aiming to keep the game engaging for years.

The roadmap introduces Stella Montis as a new playable map arriving in November, plus new ARC enemies like the Matriarch and Shredder, new weapons and gadgets, and seasonal map conditions such as snowfall.

A December limited-time event, Flickering Flames, will run alongside community unlock events in November and December to boost participation and teamwork.

An Expedition departure window system allows optional progress wipes, enabling players to retire a Raider and start anew for fresh progression.

Raider Decks return as the in-game monetization framework, with the first deck available for free to balance ongoing cosmetic purchases.

The game is designed as a cooperative PvPvE experience where teams exploit gadgets and environmental tactics to defeat ARC machines and maximize loot.

ARC Raiders is built on Unreal Engine 5, supports cross-play and cross-save via Embark ID, and is priced at $40 with post-launch updates through the end of 2025.

The roadmap includes new quests that expand lore and objectives, with ongoing biomes, faction dynamics, and equipment tweaks planned for long-term engagement.

The plan envisions at least a decade of live-service support, though developers caution plans may shift based on player retention and game performance.

The game aims to foster a durable community with regular content drops, including seasonally themed maps and events, to differentiate from a one-time launch experience.

The expansion slate includes new biomes, faction wars, and ongoing balance fixes and bug fixes, with additional 2026 content details anticipated soon.

ARC Raiders will continue to emphasize cooperative play, exploration, and risk-reward combat, with updates rolling out across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via major storefronts.
