Embark now wants to take ARC Raiders in a different direction. The studio has confirmed that the game is moving away from monthly major updates and switching to a new schedule: two big updates per year.

Gameplay
Outbound mixes cozy road trips, survival, and base building into a relaxing adventure solo or with friends.
There’s a certain type of player that sees the word “survival” and immediately thinks of hunger bars, nonstop pressure, and games demanding a second full-time job. Outbound goes in the complete opposite direction. This feels like the survival game for people who want to slow down, do things at their own pace, and enjoy the trip instead of racing toward an end goal. No stress, no constant panic, just you, your camper van, and an open road waiting to be...

Updates & Patches
Darktide update 1.11.6 reduces Crusher spam, nerfs armor meta builds, and improves gameplay balance and stability.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide update 1.11.6 is a major balance-focused patch that targets one of the community’s biggest complaints: the overwhelming dominance of Carapace-armored enemies and anti-armor builds. Fatshark has reduced Crusher spawn rates across multiple activities, especially in Havoc mode, where elite-heavy encounters often forced players into narrow weapon choices.
Rotten Armour enemies have also been changed from Carapace to Infested armor, allowing more weapons and damage types to become viable in greater difficulties. The update aims to create a healthier...
