If you follow ARC Raiders, you have seen Embark Studios stick closely to its 2026 roadmap. The studio has delivered monthly updates so far, with another major patch on the way and the Riven Tides update scheduled for April.
Beyond that point, Embark has not shared detailed plans, but it has committed to supporting the extraction shooter for at least a decade. That long-term promise suggests you can expect continued content drops and ongoing development well after the current roadmap concludes.
ARC Raiders Rolls Out Version 1.19.0
Patch 1.19.0 Details for March 10
Embark Studios has deployed update 1.19.0, and you need to restart your game client to install it. The patch focuses on stability, item recovery, and additional cosmetic options.
Recent server disruptions caused some players to lose their loadouts even after completing successful extractions. The team is reviewing affected accounts and plans to restore lost gear where possible over the next several days. While compensation does not usually follow individual incidents, the scale of this outage prompted a broader response.
The update also expands cosmetic customization. You can now purchase:
- Mustache cosmetic – 500 Raider Tokens
- Curly mullet hairstyle – 500 Raider Tokens
These additions build on the recent expansion of facial hair options introduced earlier in the year. The in-game store continues to rotate cosmetic offerings while larger gameplay changes remain tied to upcoming seasonal updates.
Looking ahead, the planned Flashpoint update is still expected later this month. Based on previous release timing, you may see it toward the end of March. The roadmap indicates that Flashpoint will introduce:
- A new ARC enemy threat
- An additional map condition
- A new Player Project
- Updates to Scrappy
Version 1.19.0 remains a smaller-scale patch, prioritizing fixes and polish rather than major content additions.
