Arc Raiders plots a map-rich 2026, from tight arenas to grand battlegrounds

Arc Raiders’ developer Embark Studios teases a 2026 roadmap featuring multiple new maps of varying sizes—from compact arenas to potentially grander battlegrounds—to diversify gameplay. Designer Virgil Watkins says the team will roll out content in cadence across the year, aiming for thematic cohesion with new enemies, loot, and map conditions, while balancing server and client performance. Stella Montis is highlighted as an example of the dense, PvP-oriented layouts expected in upcoming maps.
