Arc Raiders Expeditions may not come back: 'Maybe we'll scrap the whole system'
Right now, all options are on the table.
Embark Studios, developer of Arc Raiders, has announced a pause on Expeditions in the game until early 2027. The studio aims to rework the system to address longstanding issues and complaints that cannot be resolved with incremental fixes alone. In a recent interview, Arc Raiders executive producer Aleksander Grøndal hinted at the possibility of scrapping Expeditions entirely, though the decision remains undecided.
Expeditions in Arc Raiders function similarly to prestiging in Call of Duty, allowing high-level players to reset their character's levels, skills, and inventory for unique benefits. However, players have expressed dissatisfaction with the grind involved for a relatively minor payoff. Embark acknowledged that the current system needs significant changes beyond minor adjustments.
While the fifth Expedition is scheduled to depart at the end of September, it will be the last until Embark completes the overhaul or decides to scrap the whole system.
