Arc Raiders' fifth Expedition will be its last until early 2027

Key Points:

• Embark Studios announced that Arc Raiders' fifth Expedition, launching next month, will be the last until early 2027 as they plan major improvements addressing player concerns like tight departure windows, reward structures, and new player accessibility.
• The Expedition Window for the fifth Expedition opens on 8th September and closes on 29th September, extending from two to three weeks, with quest progress reset now optional and no "last call" grace period for sign-ups.
• Rewards for the Expedition include the full Zenith Outfit, mystery rewards, extra stash space, and capped bonus skill points and consecutive buffs, with earned buffs persisting during the pause period.
• Caravans will be reset after the fifth Expedition, with partially completed ones converted to Ermal Vouchers usable for in-game purchases or trade, while Trials mode will have a shorter break, returning on 8th October.
• Eurogamer rated Arc Raiders two out of five stars, praising its PvE combat and community but criticizing the use of AI voice generation; recently, the game added a feature to track playstyle separately for Solo, Duo, and Trio matchmaking pools.
