I would love a 5th edition version of Arcanis. So what's the chance and time frame of releasing something that could be purchased?
I'm no one official, but I doubt you will see anything like this any time soon. PCI has a number of projects on the go right now which seem to be keeping them quite busy. Writing a 5e Arcanis setting document would probably be low on their 'To Do' list, if it is on there at all. Right now the primary focus appears to be on completing the Blessed Lands sourcebook, and there are a few other sourcebooks on the go (such as the Ssethregore book).
I may be wrong, but I think that the short-term plan had just been to convert a couple of modules over to 5e to entice some new players into trying the setting, in the hopes that they would then be willing to try the ARPG system (which seems to have a fair bit in common with the 5e ruleset, from what I've seen).
I know it is tough to get people to try different systems, but the ARPG ruleset does have a lot of positive things to say about it...and the setting itself is by far the most interesting one I've been involved in. I'd encourage you to keep trying to get your friends to give it a try.
