ARC Raiders Runs Its Last Expedition Before Pausing the Mode Until 2027

ARC Raiders opened its 5th Expedition on August 21, and studio Embark confirmed it is the last one until early 2027. Expeditions are the game's limited-time seasonal event runs. The departure window runs September 8 to September 29, stretched from two weeks to three, with no last call, so players must sign up while it is open. Embark is pausing the mode to rework tight windows, thin rewards, and rough new-player access. Buffs persist during the break and unfinished Caravans convert to Ermal Vouchers.

Discussion Topics

  1. Is pausing Expeditions for over a year a smart reset, or a reason to log off?
  2. Does killing the last call punish casual players who miss the window?
  3. Would you grind the final Expedition, or wait for the 2027 rework?
  4. Is Embark fixing Expeditions, or quietly admitting the mode never landed?
