ARC Raiders update The Frozen Trail lands October 8
The next drop for the extraction shooter is dated and themed around a treacherous route where conditions turn colder and considerably more deadly.
ARC Raiders has a new update on the way and it arrives on 8 October. It is called The Frozen Trail, and the theme is weather as much as content: the route it introduces is described as treacherous, with the conditions along it turning colder and far more dangerous as the season changes.
The reveal confirms the date and the setting without spelling out what else the update carries, so the weapons, locations and events it may add are not public yet. Players will get their answer when The Frozen Trail goes live, and with it the first real shift in the game's environment since launch.
