Band member Will Butler has narrowed down the release date to next spring.
Speaking in a Reddit AMA, Butler - who is the brother of the Candian band's lead singer, Win - said that while there was no "definite schedule," the record will "probably" be released spring 2017.
The musician added that the album will "be done when it's done."
Butler has been promoting his new live record Friday Night. It follows his debut solo effort Policy which was released last year.
Arcade Fire's previous albums include Funeral, Neon Bible, The Suburbs and 2013's Reflektor which included the tracks "We Exist" and "Here Comes the Night Time."
The band headlined Glastonbury in 2015 and will return to the circuit this summer performing at European festivals Bilbao BBK and NOS Alive.
