ARC Raiders Roadmap: January - April 2026

January 23, 2026

Hello, Raiders.

2026 is upon us, and we’re embarking on our first full year of ARC Raiders. Let’s do this thing. 

When we launched in October, we gave you a rundown of our plans for the rest of 2025. We hope this got you excited about what was coming up, and gave you a flavor of how much new content to expect. Since we’re aiming to deliver a content update every month going forward, we want to keep you in the loop.

As we head into 2026, we’re excited to share our roadmap for the next four months. This will show you the types of new content to look forward to: new enemies, maps, conditions, or other changes. As you can expect, we’re not going to offer all the specifics, but enough that you know where we’re heading. 

Stick around. After Escalation, there’s even more to come. 

Escalation

The Cold Snap has passed, but its danger casts a long shadow. Extreme weather will continue to test Raiders as they scavenge the surface for the resources that keep Speranza running.

The increased ARC presence continues to trouble Shani as the Rustbelt grows more overwhelmed, but no one holds all the pieces. The scale of the impending escalation remains unknown. Venture topside into an increasingly volatile Rustbelt—and make sure you’re prepared for what’s to come.

Keep a lookout - new content is just around the corner.

See you topside,
The ARC Raiders Team

This roadmap reflects our current plans and is subject to change.
