In a significant move to its update cadence, Arc Raiders will no longer receive monthly updates.
In a blog post explaining the move, developer and publisher Embark Studios said it wants to deliver updates that are more significant. As a result, updates for the game will arrive every six months instead of every month.
“When ARC Raiders launched, we planned to offer monthly updates. The intention was to keep you all engaged, to ensure the game always felt fresh, and to give you reasons to keep braving topside,” reads the blog post.
“But once the game was in players’ hands, we saw that the kind of long-term experience we want to create for ARC Raiders requires more transformative updates.”
Embark also said issuing updates every month “isn’t sustainable, or compatible with the bigger ambitions we have for the game.”
That doesn’t mean there won’t be smaller updates in between the larger ones. Embark said these smaller updates will have “balance fixes, bug fixes, store updates, and player events.”
The first big update with this new cadence will arrive in October and will be called Frozen Trail. In addition to new areas, the update will include new enemies, goals, and an updated skill tree.
