Apparently Embark offered the streamer 'TimTheTatman' 6 figures to play ARC live for the Subway cross-promotion and he refused
Embark resorting to bribery now.. Oh how the mighty have fallen

How about you add meaningful updates to the game that would actually make people wanna come back

I wonder what’s this about

First Look at the Frozen Trail update dropping September 23 at 1pm EDT on YouTube

Gonna go on a media blackout for the new major update and take it all in come October 8

I really do hope it’s a ‘major’ update. Not just a new map or whatever.

Subliminal shots at Riven Tides
I agree with you though; that map drop was underwhelming.

But I think this upcoming update will be the one..
From a May 2026 article:

New weapons

This new skin kinda hideous tbh
Luckily I’ve already found my Frozen Trail skin

Shots at Riven Tides indeed

Sounds better than the previous updates for sure. Hopefully it turns out to be more significant and impressive.

Premiere soon (Sep. 23): First look at Frozen Trail (releasing Oct. 8)

Oct. 8: ARC update
Oct. 15: CONTROL Resonant physical release
Oct. 20: THE FINALS new season
Bonus:
Oct. 29: Cairn update (just copped this game today!)

October will be quite an eventful month

Would’ve added Phantom Blade Zero (Oct. 29) to the calendar but that’s digital-only..

Cairn so good

Massive, massive update. Maybe this will revive the game?

Whats new

Ayoo they actually added the new 'Grappling Hook' for the major update
Btw didn’t take Embark to be fans of Kanye #Bully #newARCenemy

This could be a game-changer..

AMPLIFIED WEAPONS
New weapons are great, and Frozen Trail certainly introduces fresh guns for your stash, but we wanted to systemically change how you interact with combat in the late game. We know that highly-skilled Raiders are loyal to their favorite weapons, but that means others barely get used - that’s why we’ve been building an upgrade system that totally reimagines some of the guns you’re already used to.
Using the fully-upgraded Research Workstation in your Outpost, Raiders will have the opportunity to access a fifth quality level for a range of guns. This level lets you unlock a branching path of abilities and enhancements to your weapons that can completely change their behavior; imagine a fully-automatic Burletta, a Renegade with a scope, or a Rattler with incendiary bullets and a 64 bullet magazine.
The hope is that this feature allows late-game players to reinvent their arsenal and personalize their weapons with high-tier upgrades that set them apart from the crowd. The feature is rolling out to 15 of our weapons, with more planned for the future.

E-Day releasing just a couple of days before Frozen Trail..
CALL AN AMBULANCE
For Gears

New map (supposedly the largest yet)
New game mode
3 new weapons
3 new arc (actual new designs, not recycles)
New weapon upgrade tier for all weapons

Some other s*** too that I can’t think of

Trailer didn’t move me. Snow map is

New grappling seems really fun tho, I always hoped they’d bring it over from the finals. I’ll give it a try

Only THREE raiders can extract at a time:

Pendola Pass is mixing things up in terms of the now tried-and-tested formula too. Where other maps all have similar ways of extracting — call the elevator or train, then jump aboard — in this snowy mountain range, the only way out is via a gondola. Space is limited, though: only three raiders can extract at any one time.

All I’m sayin’ is there better still be hatches

New map name kinda ass..
"Pendejo"

The mad lads have done it: 'PvE Toggle' coming to ARC Raiders as a limited-time test
arcraiders.com/news/pve-toggle-beta-test
Is this a bad idea or not?

Absolutely bad. PvE people will flock to it and regular queues will be all PvP. No more mixed bag matchmaking, no more thrill of wondering if the other player is friendly, it’s going to be 100% shoot on sight every time

Oh wow that’s crazy

Finally. Game is fun as hell to play with friends when we aren’t hounded by toxic people as newbies. All of the shoot-first folks can continue doing that with people that will also be on guard and not free kills.
