Arc Raiders' Shrouded Sky update teases beards and a hurricane condition

A new teaser for the Arc Raiders Shrouded Sky update sheds some light on the next stage of the game's early 2026 roadmap. The sky looks unsurprisingly shrouded by storms, and your raider's face may be shrouded by a beard. The trailer focuses on a new map condition: a hurricane approaching with extreme winds and limited visibility that present any above-ground raiders with a grueling challenge.

It looks like several maps, including Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and – squinting – Blue Gate will support the new condition. Embark warns the intense winds will slow you down when moving against the storm and can speed you up if you catch a tailwind. "Throwables will also behave differently in these conditions, and it may take a while to master the trajectory of thrown items like grenades," the developer says, adding that smoke, gas, and even jumping will be affected.
