The Arc Raiders Frozen Trail update has been announced, bringing new weapons, a new map, new Arc enemies, and plenty more besides. It's been a long time since the last major update for Arc Raiders after an intentional choice was made to slow down the rate of content updates, but now it looks as though Embark is making the most of that pause to bring back what is arguably the largest update for the game that we've ever seen.
Below, I'll take you through everything you need to know about the Frozen Trail update for Arc Raiders, including all the new content, the release date planned, and what you can expect from this next era of the robot-fighting extraction shooter.
The Frozen Trail 2.0 update will be a free content patch for Arc Raiders that goes live on October 8, 2026. No comment yet has been made about what time during the day that will be, but historically patches for Arc Raiders have had a habit of going live roughly around 3:00AM PDT / 6:00AM EDT / 11:00AM BST.
A huge amount of content is being added to Arc Raiders in the Frozen Trail, much of it focused around a new snowy location that players will be able to explore and loot. We'll quickly go through everything here, before going into further detail below.
Some elements have been explained in more detail while others are still yet to be revealed, such as the upcoming changes to the Skill Tree. Still, we'll go over all the biggest elements to come below.
The new Arc Raiders map is a snowy, mountain region specifically based around a giant, dead "Emperor" Arc walker robot. The map is specifically meant to push a wide range of gameplay styles, with both enclosed spaces for close quarters, open spaces for long-range, and a mention of verticality.
The map also includes its own unique weather condition: Flash Freeze, unpredictable moments of cold which will force players to take refuge indoors (or even in Avalanche Shelters) or else be negatively hit by the cold.
