Escape from Tarkov's wipe, initially planned for before the New Year to coincide with a simplified Kappa container quest, now has a confirmed release time: December 26th at 7:00 AM GMT / 2:00 AM EST. Following an approximately 8-hour maintenance period (though past updates have sometimes taken longer), the game will update to version 0.16.0.0 (Tarkov Arena to 0.2.5.0).
To compensate for downtime, Battlestate Games will host a New Year's Special Twitch stream at 4:00 PM GMT / 11:00 AM EST. Details remain under wraps, but players can anticipate exciting new content.
What's in Update 0.16.0.0?
Version 0.16.0.0 signifies that the full game release remains on the horizon, likely arriving in 2025. Key anticipated features include:
- Unity 2022 Engine Transition: A long-awaited upgrade, though delays are possible.
- Weapon Recoil System Overhaul: A significant change impacting gameplay dynamics.
- New Weaponry: Potentially including the RPG-26.
- Customs Map Rework: Expect substantial modifications to this popular map.
- Bug Fixes and Quality of Life Improvements: While improvements are welcome, the engine upgrade might introduce new challenges.
The update promises exciting changes, but the actual impact will be determined after launch.
