ARC Raiders has made a strong start to life in its 1.0 state, following a series of promising alpha tests and betas. Team Embark isn't taking the rest of the year off after the full launch, though, as it's shared a surprisingly strong roadmap that covers just the final two months of the year.

This month, a free update called North Line will add the previously confirmed fifth map Stella Montis to the game. In addition, there'll be two new Arc machines to fight in the Matriarch and Shredder, as well as a community event, more quests, and fresh gameplay items.

Then, in December, the Cold Snap event covers all of the maps in snow and introduces the Flickering Flames event. You can also look forward to further Raider decks and quests.

Embark is committing to Arc Raiders for the long term, so this is just the start of its post-launch content rollout. Here's the full roadmap for the rest of 2025:

Arc Raiders PS5 2

All this content will only add to the PS5 online experience we called "one of the best multiplayer games this generation".

In our Arc Raiders PS5 review, which closed with a 9/10 score, we said: "This is a phenomenal showcase of what immersive multiplayer can be. Every run is different, and your squad will come out with stories to tell each time. It can be tougher on those planning to play solo, and the extraction loop won't be for everyone. But as far as extraction shooters go, this is one of the most accessible, and it respects your time, giving you a fun experience from your first match."
