This marks the extraction shooter's first full year since its October 2025 launch, promising monthly major updates to keep Raiders scavenging the Rustbelt amid rising ARC threats and extreme weather.

The roadmap, shared via the official site and X, teases a steady drip of content: new enemies (ARCs), map conditions, player projects (limited-time events offering free cosmetics), Raider Decks (battle pass-style progression), Expedition Windows (progress wipes for exclusive rewards), and more. Across all months, expect new quests, feats, trials, events, gameplay items, cosmetics, and quality-of-life tweaks.

The narrative hook? The Cold Snap may be over, but its chill lingers. Extreme weather persists, ARC numbers surge, and the Rustbelt grows more volatile. "Lock your loadout," warns the team—the escalation's full scale is unknown.
