Arch Raiders Design lead Virgil Watkins has revealed that the game will be getting several new maps in 2026. This comes from a recent interview with GamesRadar+, covering Embark Studios’ approach to map design.
When asked about Embark Studios’ plans for upcoming content, Watkins shared that the team plans to release some sort of roadmap soon:
“At some point soon, I think we’re going to release part of a roadmap for the next few months. But right now, we’re the ones deciding exactly that cadence, those things. And you’re right about the types of content, and we’re going to break that up over the next year.”
This upcoming content apparently includes multiple maps, and will vary in size from small to large environments:
“This year there will be multiple maps, and I think they will span a spectrum of sizes to try to facilitate different types of play. So you may see some that are smaller and some that are even larger than what we have now.”
The full interview delves into how Embark Studios intends to maintain the Arch Raiders engaged community and addresses how performance constraints can help inform map design.
