The end date is the publisher’s own timestamp, taken from an official announcement or the in-game season panel.
Every game is reviewed daily and re-verified against the publisher's own source as its deadline approaches; the verification date printed above is when that last happened for this one. Historical cadence is context only — an official date always replaces an estimate, the same day, and the correction records what the date was changed from.
Arc Raiders Riven Tides ends on October 8, 2026 (verified September 17, 2026). Riven Tides is the Arc Raiders season that opened the western shore of the Rust Belt: a new coastal map built around the abandoned Panorama Azzurro hotel and the Exodus port, a massive new ARC called the Turbine, and a fresh Raider Deck. Its Last Resort event, which ran from April 28 to May 25, rewarded extraction objectives completed under pressure. Embark Studios has confirmed the season's closing date because it coincides with Frozen Trail, described as the largest update in the game's history and the first drop under the new cadence of two major updates a year instead of monthly releases.
Riven Tides started April 28, 2026 and has a confirmed end date of October 8, 2026, giving the season a run of roughly five and a half months.
This is a confirmed date, not an estimate — Embark Studios has stated Arc Raiders is moving to a seasonal content model, so Riven Tides' close should line up with the next season's launch.
Riven Tides adds a new coastal map on the western shore of the Rust Belt, featuring the abandoned Panorama Azzurro hotel and the Exodus port, along with a new massive ARC enemy called the Turbine and a refreshed Raider Deck.
The season's Last Resort limited-time event (April 28 – May 25, 2026) rewarded players for completing extraction objectives under extreme pressure.

Arc Raiders is on its current season, Riven Tides (its fourth major content period since the October 2025 launch). Previous seasons: Headwinds, Cold Snap, North Line, and the Launch window. Each recent season ran roughly 1–3 months before Embark shifted to two larger updates per year.

The Raider Deck is Arc Raiders' free progression system, replacing a traditional paid Battle Pass. All cosmetic rewards are earned through gameplay with no purchase required.
Arc Raiders is a third-person extraction shooter where squads of three drop into large maps, fight NPC ARCs (autonomous robotic constructs) and other players, loot gear, and extract before dying. Everything you extract carries over to your persistent stash and can be used in future raids — dying means losing whatever you brought in. Seasonal progression is tied to the Raider Deck (the free reward track), TEC faction reputation, and limited-time events like Last Resort. Major seasonal updates reset event progress but not your core extracted inventory or TEC standing.
