Board the North Line Train in ARC Raiders
Embark Studios is launching the first major content update for ARC Raiders, titled ‘North Line’, marking a bold new chapter for the game. The update goes live on November 13 at 10:30 a.m. CET and introduces a large community unlock event, new gameplay additions, and quality-of-life improvements. Priced at $39.99 USD, ARC Raiders is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and NVIDIA GeForce NOW. The North Line update is free for all players and follows the game’s strong debut, which recently surpassed 700,000 concurrent players.
The new update expands the game’s frontier with Stella Montis, a mysterious region filled with pristine yet haunting ruins that contrast sharply with the wreckage of the Rust Belt. These structures conceal rare resources, new items, and weapon blueprints for players determined to reclaim the surface. Players must first earn access to this new map by completing Breaking New Ground, the game’s first global community event.
Breaking New Ground invites the Raiders to work together to help Speranza rebuild the tunnels leading to Stella Montis. Participants can contribute resources to earn Merits, a new event currency that unlocks further progress and rewards. Once the community completes the event, the new region will open, starting Phase II: Staking Our Claim. This will run until December and adds new challenges and prizes.
The North Line update also introduces two new ARC enemies, the towering Matriarch and the deadly Shredder. As well as the Aphelion Rifle, new Mines, and Stella Montis-themed questlines. Embark Studios has confirmed that the next update, Cold Snap, will arrive in December, continuing ARC Raiders’ post-launch expansion with new events and gameplay features.
