Escape from Tarkov pushes the boundaries of genres and offers a new kind of gameplay based on a multitude of tactical and combat factors and the use of additional modules that improve game realism.

Events take place in a realistic setting in the Russian city of Tarkov. Main characters work for two private military companies locked in bloody conflict on the streets of the settlement surrounded by UN forces and Russian Military. Players need to find a way out of the isolated Tarkov, survive the deadly hazards and unearth all mysteries of the city. Following the wildly twisted plot, heroes of Escape from Tarkov meet many dangers – from hostile mercenaries of enemy faction to aggressive environment. Death may come suddenly in a multitude of ways: character may perish because of consequences of different injuries, illnesses, exhaustion and radiation poisoning. To survive in a harsh and unpredictable world, players use numerous MMO system modules: users can control all actions and movements of their character and choose from a wide range of behaviors and tactics.

Battlestate Games have conducted an ultimate analysis of the alpha testing launch of Escape from Tarkov and are now ready to disclose its date.

The most important point of the early testing is the solid base that will be added to the game in the coming days and will make it to the Alpha - and, ultimately, serve as a steady foundation to Escape from Tarkov. Opening access to whatever we have now, "as is", in our opinion, does not serve any purpose. Alpha testing should not only polish the project and add content, but thoroughly balance and flesh out the details of game mechanics. This is why we have formed a perfectly clear vision of what alpha testing should include - the version of the game where we could solve all of these tasks together!

Aspiring combatants who have signed up for the Alpha should keep a close watch on their inboxes for an invite as we get closer to the Alpha launch, as a select group of gamers will get their first hands-on taste of Escape from Tarkov's furious battles starting on August 4.

In the time remaining to the launch of the tests we are going to reveal several new game features in form of videos or streams, so stay tuned!
