Arc Raiders' big February update, Shrouded Sky, now has an actual release date, and after Embark previously teased it'd arrive at some point next week, you'll be pleased to know it's coming sooner rather than later.
With an extremely short teaser that gives very little away, Embark now reveals that Arc Raiders Shrouded Sky will launch on February 24, so there's less than a week to wait. That's bound to be a relief for anyone itching for new content, as the studio noted just yesterday that "there'll be no major game update or a store rotation" this week to tide us over until then.

Per Embark's 2026 roadmap, Shrouded Sky appears to be a very sizeable update for Arc Raiders, with a new map condition being added in addition to a new Arc threat, player project, raider deck, map update, and expedition window. Arriving at the end of the month lines up with the late January rollout of the Headwinds update, so I wouldn't be surprised if we have a similar launch window for Flashpoint in March.
In the meantime, Embark is starting to roll out punishments for players who used the recently patched dupe exploit. The consequences will be "based on severity, intent, frequency, and impact," with some set to receive warnings while others may be suspended if their actions had "a significant impact on the in-game economy or other players' experience."
