Yes! Embark Studios is dropping the 2025 roadmap like it hasn’t caused enough chaos in the tail end of 2025. And let me tell you, this roadmap is not just bug fixes and balance tweaks. We’re talking new maps, new machines, and community events designed to make you rethink your loadout mid-run, as if this game doesn’t already do this on the daily. Let’s break it down!
First up, Stella Montis—the fifth map in Arc Raiders—lands in November. It’s been locked on the world map since launch, but now it’s opening up with fresh terrain, new extraction routes, and probably a few places where you’ll get ambushed by bots and Raiders alike. Alongside the map, we’re getting two new ARC machines: Matriarch and Shredder. No word yet on their attack patterns, but with names like that, expect pain.
Also dropping in November: new quests, new items, and the first themed community event. If you’ve been hoarding Raider Tokens, now’s your moment to flex.
December’s Cold Snap update adds a snowfall map condition (yes, it does what it says on the tin), plus the Flickering Flames event. Expect festive chaos with a side of fire damage. You’ll also get a new Raider Deck—Arc Raiders’ version of a battle pass—with cosmetics, gear, and probably a few capes if the devs are feeling generous.
And yes, there’s another Expedition departure window, so if you’re planning to prestige your Raider, December’s your next shot.
Arc Raiders isn’t slowing down. With Stella Montis, new ARC machines, and community-driven madness on the way, 2025 is closing out with a bang. So prep that gear, mark your calendar, and get ready for even more Raids!
