Embark Delays Arc Raiders Expeditions to Early 2027, Pauses 2 Weeks of Trials

Summary
September 8-29 will be Arc Raiders' last Expedition window before Embark shelves the prestige-style mode until early 2027, saying bigger fixes are needed after player feedback.
Embark said incremental tweaks were not enough to solve complaints about tight departure windows, weak rewards and poor accessibility for newer players, with details on the overhaul due in September.
September 22 to October 8 weekly Trials will also go on hold, while completed Expedition players get the Zenith outfit and unfinished Caravans convert into Ermal Vouchers.
October's Frozen Trail update is still planned as the next major patch, but the extended pause removes a key endgame progression loop and has intensified frustration over Arc Raiders' slow post-launch cadence.
