The Russian development studio Battlestate Games released an initial gameplay trailer for the upcoming MMO shooter Escape from Tarkov and reveals some parallels to Ubisoft’s The Division.
The pre-alpha trailer for Escape from Tarkov shows some action scenes from the upcoming game. A group of players sneaks through crumbling houses and factory facilities, engaging in tactical skirmishes with enemy groups. It still looks like a regular online shooter, albeit with really good graphics and impressive lighting effects. However, Escape from Tarkov will offer much more – especially a lot of MMORPG elements, such as quests and character development based on many skills.
Action, RPG, and Realism
The developers place great emphasis on realism. A hit can mean not only instant death, but players can also slowly bleed out from their injuries. Therefore, one must always proceed with caution and should not rush. Team play is also very important, especially when providing cover for each other.
A certain similarity to Ubisoft’s upcoming MMO The Division cannot be denied. In both games, players explore a large game area in groups, encounter NPC enemies as well as other players who might not always be friendly, must act tactically as a team, and have plenty of RPG elements. This includes quests that need to be completed.
The gameplay trailer for Escape from Tarkov already makes a promising impression and whets the appetite for more. More will be shown at the beginning of next year when a closed beta starts, for which you can already register on the official website. A release of the online shooter is also planned for 2016.
