The Embark Studios team presented the upcoming Arc Raiders update. It is called Frozen Trail and will offer players a lot of new content.
The game will feature the Pendola Pass map. According to the story, raiders have identified the source of a strange signal and are going on reconnaissance — an ARC-Emperor has fallen, and rare technology is stored within it.
On the map, the developers say, players can expect classic signs of an old-world civilization — a supermarket and a lifeless city square, as well as traces of the Exodus project (an observatory and a buried railway depot):
Towering over it all is the reason the Raiders have come to Pendola Pass — one of the [ARC] Emperors has fallen. Rare technology is hidden inside, and your task is simple — get there and find a way to get inside.
New ARC models were shown — Bully, Skulker, Hydra:
The game will feature an outpost that players can customize. Weapons can be upgraded to level five, and new models will appear: the Stiletto assault rifle with light ammunition; Bantam — a revolver with heavy ammunition, and also a grappling hook.
Thanks to the “camera,” you can take stylish shots:
The Frozen Trail update for Arc Raiders is scheduled for release on October 8, 2026. This will be the largest update in the project's history.
