Battlestate Games conducted the next broadcast of TarkovTV podcast, where the head of the studio Nikita Buyanov talked about filling the next patch of the shooter Escape from Tarkov and plans for the release of Arena spin-off-off .
Key information from podcast
The studio is preparing for the release of the New Year’s patch, which is planned to be released in December 2023. For him, the team over the past months tested the new matchmaking system, which should work faster and more stable. This innovation is already used on some servers and developers will gradually increase the scope of application.
Battlestate Games will release a new launcher that combines the main game and Escape from Tarkov: Arena. The release of the latter is scheduled for the first half of December 2023.
The company postponed the transition EFT on the new version of the engine. The studio wants to do this in 2024. Also Buyanov He stated that the team chose as a new version of Unity 2023, not Unity 2021, as previously announced. According to the developer, such a decision was made due to bugs and problems with performance. Recall that Battlestate Games did not comment on new fees in any way Unity For the number of games on the engine.
The studio introduced a new location of the epicenter. She will be starting for beginners. Developers will introduce a restriction on the level for raids for this location. Most likely the upper bar will become the 15th level. When playing for the Wild, no restrictions there are no restrictions. The epicenter should become a sandbox, where newcomers will be able to get comfortable and collect a little not very expensive loot to start.
The new location will appear already in the New Year’s patch. Nikita also noted that the epicenter has modest sizes and should not require many resources from player computers.
More Buyanov I recalled that Battlestate Games I recently released an option to play the location of Tarkova Street with reduced texture resolution. This should help players with low -power PCs.
On the podcast, the developers showed a small match in the "Arena". In the current build, voice chat and "kilkers" have already been implemented.
In the New Year’s patch, the developers will add new premises to the location of Tarkov and BTR Street. He will be able to withdraw the player’s lutus from the location, cover it with fire and deliver it from one point to another, like a taxi. A new boss named Kalantai will also appear.
The developers will add a Volts to the game – a system that allows a character to climb small obstacles, like boxes, and also climb over fences and other obstacles. For those who are little familiar with the game, there are ordinary jumps in the shooter, but fans have long asked to introduce the opportunity to climb over the obstacle.
Baders also presented a video with a new reservation system. Each body armor and helmet in the game will now work as authentic as possible. Now there are separate replaced armored vehicles. Hitboxes are also processed taking into account the new system.
Buyanov announced that the maximum publication of the original game Edge of Darkness, which also guarantees access to Arena, It will disappear from the sale. The developers launched a timer on their website. Apparently, about 40 days left at the time of publication news.
Battlestate Games will give access to EFT: Arena waves. The first to get the game are those who previously issued a pre -order. The frequency of adding new players depends on how many problems arise during testing.
In the New Year’s patch, the developers will once again process the return. For clarity Buyanov showed two videos during the podcast, with comparison of systems. Along with this, there will be mechanics of transferring weapons to the left shoulder, as realized, for example in Arma III .
After 7 years, achievements will be https://turbico.co.uk/games/ added to the game, the receipt of which will not be dumped with wipes. It will also be possible to show your favorite weapon assemblies in the profile. If in the profile of a friend you will see a suitable weapon, you can save your assembly.
A new zone will be added to the shelter – the Hall of Glory. In this place, players will be able to place items, the search for which was especially hard for them.
Developers will add preset for charging stores. Now players will be able to quickly equip stores with various combinations. For example, some love to leave 3-5 tracing bullets last, which in the heat of the battle allows us to understand that ammunition is running out.
In the New Year’s Patch, players will be able to get three services from the lighthouse’s caretaker: support from the sight of the sight, a truce with the cultists and an alliance with apostates.
New weapons will also be added to the game: 9A-91, VSK-94, Degtyarev’s manual machine gun, SIG MCX-SPEAR, another SCS model.

The best comments
I even motivated and made this crooked meme.
I really hope that this means processing the initial quests. Otherwise, the starting location for the first 30 hours for everyone will still be a customs (and sometimes a forest) with a watch in a naivnyak, dozens of reasons to drive into a hostel, etc. And of course, there are Gazanov and flash drives
With quests on a new location, the problem of non -linearity of progress may arise: he raised the level 15 earlier than he found an “watch analogue” – everything, the location is closed, the quest is lost.
But by the way, a good idea was born-this “sandbox” is ideal for some new mini-tramp, which is also available up to 15 lvl (you can, up to 5), for example, some former PMC instructor with the nickname “Mentor” \ “Dad” \ “Coach (for USEC)”
He can sell the most necessary equipment a little cheaper than other merchants and in one place-some kind of car gasket, a tourniquet, AKSU, MP5 with basic cartridges, PACA broths or 6B2 (for balance can be sold with 70-80 percent of strength / use)
And add to him training quests – kill 3 wild, kill 1 PMC, kill 5 wild from pistols. Find 2 mods on AK (“sometimes in green military boxes, they were thrown everywhere during evacuation, and there is also a store on the street XXXXX. ". And t.D. Gradually devoting the game to the mechanics or nuances.
So Kalak 12 was added in the past patch
My friend and I really felt like that in this wipe.
I won’t be surprised if they will not immediately think of the quests under a new location, but this is at least something for beginners. The game is terribly unfriendly, I can’t imagine how I started playing if I had not seen enough on YouTube in advance.
This idea sounds too good to ever be realized.
What they again did with the return? In the alpha was the most adequate (
A hundred attachments with an additive system of glasses of bonuses were attacked and now they can’t use the balance between lasergans and absolutely uncontrolled shit. And for some reasons, BSG directly clung to the idea of aatocompletion of recoil as a clamp, and it is impossible to shoot with short bursts with this system, either to slip, or to clamp a store.
Apparently you have to come to terms that because of this choice, Tarkov will always have a bad ganpley
Very not a fact. Perhaps they see a new location only as a safer option for eating a loot and as a consequence of money earnings in order to reduce the number of scourges of assemblies. And do not forget that the first 15 lvl will play there and mega mamkina nagibators, so there is a stick about the two -edges ..
I won’t be surprised if some will specially reset their accounts to go back to the location of this frog.
Everything that will be released in the main part of the podcast in December 2023, except for the transition to a new version of the engine.
But there is not a kalak 12 with a shutter delay like M-16!
If that, suddenly, they specifically made a lighthouse on the Lut at the start of the lighthouse, so that this is exactly what players are lifting there, at the same time stress to test this card.
I’ve been waiting for Kalak 12 in the next quality for 4 years.
New launcher, sounds like a threat)
Well, if they think of excluding the spavn of expensive Luta like Ledukh and military electronics (and better at all at least rare objects), then probably everything will not be so bad. You can fill the backpack on the “15k/slot” calmly and on the denouement and, of course, for the bum on the reserve, you need to desperate
When he was there, a year ago? Ah, two ..
Everything sounds very tasty, as always. I hope it will not be necessary to wait for the innovation for too long, and within 2024 at least half of them will be able to add
I have been with BSG too long to believe in their common sense … I played on the lighthouse from the first days of the appearance of the map? I took millions there for the raid … The office needed a couple of wipes to cease to be meg-filled.
