ARC Raiders Prepares for a Major Update in 2026
The developers of ARC Raiders are promising an eventful 2026. Embark Studios has announced numerous new maps, some of which will be significantly larger and more ambitious than the existing ones, signaling the project's transition into a long-term development phase.
According to the authors, the main focus in 2026 will be on gradually expanding the game world. The new locations will increase the scale of gameplay and offer fresh environmental and tactical challenges, requiring a new approach to cooperation.
Some maps will be "larger than anything available before," with open spaces, extended expeditions, and an increased emphasis on exploration and combat planning. Each zone will have its own identity and unique scenarios.
ARC Raiders will retain its character, combining dynamic action, intense survival struggles, and cooperative PvE mode. The map expansion will be accompanied by adjustments to balance, progression systems, and events to maintain community interest.
If the plans are confirmed, 2026 will be the moment when ARC Raiders strengthens its position among online shooters.
