Escape from Tarkov is a first-person shooter video game being developed by Battlestate Games. A closed alpha of the game was first made available to select users, on 28 December 2016.[1]
Plot
'Escape from Tarkov' takes place in the fictional Norvinsk region around a "Special economic zone" that served as a gateway between Russia and Europe. However, this attracted corporations with dubious intent. Six months later a massive corporation became ground zero for a political scandal, which became an armed conflict involving Russian and United Nations peacekeepers. The civil war forced the Terra Group to hire USEC to hinder investigations, while BEAR is created on orders by the Russian Government. The player has the titular objective of escaping the city of Tarkov by working for one of these Private Military Companies (PMCs).
Gameplay
In the current test build, players can choose to play as two of three factions available in the game, with the ultimate goal of gathering and extracting loot littered around the fictional city of Tarkov.
A skill tree is included, which grants the player various perks and skills.[2]
Development and release
Escape from Tarkov will be a traditional full purchase release, with neither free-to-play nor microtransaction elements. There is a possibility of a release on Steam sometime after the game's official release.[3] There are also plans for downloadable content in the future.
Extended alpha
The extended alpha was announced on 28 December 2016, available to select users who pre-ordered the game. The game has four preorder tiers, where the Edge of Darkness edition guaranteed players access to the alpha build.[4] All players who had access had to sign a non-disclosure agreement and video coverage of the gameplay via streaming was limited to select players.[citation needed] Currently,[when?] the NDA is lifted.
Closed beta
The closed beta started July 28th 2017. Previous alpha testers gained access immediately and after the first couple of days, all pre-orders gained beta access in waves over the course of a week.
