Major Winter Update “Cold Snap” for ARC Raiders Arrives Earlier Than Fans Expected

It will be available next week.

Embark Studios has announced that a substantial Cold Snap update for ARC Raiders — which transforms in-game locations into snow-laden wastelands — will launch on December 16. The release date was revealed alongside evocative artwork showing a fallen raider lightly coated in snow.

Players speculate the image hints at new, severe weather mechanics that will evolve during matches and impact raider behavior.

Coinciding with the update, a limited-time event called Flickering Flames will begin; its particulars are being kept under wraps by the developers.
