Escape from Tarkov – Shooter-MMO with a focus on realism

The Russian development studio Battlestate Games is currently working on a mix of MMORPG and online shooter. Escape from Tarkov (PC) is primarily focused on realism.

Set in modern times, two private armies fight for an escape route in the Russian city of Tarkov. Players create a character in a typical RPG fashion and join one of the armies. As a soldier, you will encounter enemies from the opposing army in the winding alleys of the city. This means that PvP battles are a regular occurrence.

However, there are other dangers in the city, as things are not right there. During your escape from the city, you will uncover a secret.

Pure Realism

So there are not only battles planned, but also a story. You will pursue this through quests. During this, you delve deeper into the city. There, you will also encounter forces from the UN and the Russian military. Especially during the fights, the developers want to emphasize realism. Each weapon fires differently, and the ballistics are calculated realistically.

But not only your skill matters, as you improve your hero through more than 100 skills. These not only revolve around weapon abilities, but you also need to be good at administering first aid. Even minor wounds can spread and become dangerous.

Fatigue also plays a role, and your hero can die from radiation poisoning. During your explorations through the city of Tarkov, you will find many objects and resources that you can use for trading. This way, you can improve your weapons yourself. It is even possible to set up your own trading posts.

On November 24, the developers of the MMO want to show the first gameplay footage, before a closed beta is set to start in early 2016. The release of Escape from Tarkov is planned for 2016. You can register for the beta on the official website: www.escapefromtarkov.com.
