What Time Does Arc Raider Cold Snap Update Come Out?

After the recent North Line update, where Embark added the new Stella Montis map to Arc Raiders, the developers are finally adding the long-awaited snow condition to most maps. This will not be a new map but an event that occurs on the existing map for an hour. This condition adds another layer to the game where the visibility throughout the maps will be limited, so the likelihood of getting ambushed is high.

The update drops on the 16th of December and adds new quests, a new Deck to obtain outfits, and a new event. Here is everything players need to know about what time the Arc Raiders update is planned to drop in every region.
