ARC Raiders has a new content-filled roadmap for early 2026

Embark Studios have released a fresh roadmap for ARC Raiders covering the next few months, and it sounds like it's adding a whole lot to the game.

ARC Raiders remains as one of the most popular games on Steam, as it has been in the top 5 of the global weekly sellers on Steam for the last 12 weeks which is pretty incredible. Regularly seeing peak concurrent players counts on Steam of over 300,000 people, which is especially good since it has the anti-cheat enabled for Linux too!

The game is set to get new matchmaking options, new map conditions, new ARC enemies, new player decks for cosmetics, new quests, map updates, new maps and lots more. I'm very curious to see what the Scrappy update is too. Here's the image they officially shared of what's coming:

I have over 200 hours in the game now, and it has started to feel a bit samey. I know, that probably sounds a bit silly given the hours I've put into it. But this is an extraction shooter - once you've got all the Blueprints and you've taken down all the enemies (including the huge ones), you do start to question what you're continuing to go running around for. There definitely needs to be more of an end-game to it. The expedition is a nice touch, but it wasn't handled particularly well the first time and feels like a lot of effort just to get a reset with some minor bonuses. So I'm keen to see all this added to the game.

If you want to see what all the fuss is about Fanatical still have it discounted.
