Escape from Tarkov wird ein Hardcore-MMO-Shooter, Beta-Anmeldungen sind gestartet

The developer studio Battlestate Games has released new information about the upcoming shooter MMO Escape from Tarkov.

First, the developers explain that Escape from Tarkov is primarily an MMO. The role-playing elements are just as important as the shooter combat system and the story. Additionally, it will not be a free-to-play game, but must be purchased normally.

Open game world that unlocks gradually

The game will offer various game modes, the first of which will be plot-based at release. Although there is a large play area of about 15 square kilometers, it is not fully accessible to players at the beginning. You must first master several scenarios, which will gradually unlock new locations. These scenarios will advance the game’s story. However, it will be possible to jump back to an earlier scenario at any time to search for more items and secrets.

Thus, you may even find hidden locations. Once you have mastered all scenarios, you will unlock the open game world and can explore it at your leisure. Each scenario will take place in an area of five to ten square kilometers. Later, additional game modes will be added, including arena battles.

A shooter MMO hybrid for core gamers

Escape from Tarkov is aimed at core gamers, because if the character dies in combat, it loses everything it has collected so far. If you are in a scenario, you must start it over. Those interested can now sign up for a closed beta test on the official MMO website, which will start in early 2016. The game’s release is planned for next year.
