Embark Studios announced that its cooperative extraction shooter, Arc Raiders, will transition from monthly seasonal updates to a new cadence of two major updates per year. This change aims to deliver more substantial content additions for players.
The move represents a shift from the frequent, smaller content drops common in many live-service games. According to Embark Studios, the bi-annual schedule will allow for more comprehensive development and integration of new features and gameplay elements.
New Update Cadence
Previously, Arc Raiders received monthly seasonal updates. Under the new plan, players can expect two significant content releases annually. This approach is intended to provide more impactful additions to the game’s evolving world and mechanics.
Arc Raiders is a multiplayer third-person extraction shooter, developed and published by Embark Studios. The game is set on a future Earth ravaged by a mechanized threat known as ARC. Players enlist as Raiders to scavenge the surface and confront both hostile machines and other players.
