Tarkov Wipe Unleashes Holiday Event

Escape from Tarkov's wipe, originally slated for pre-New Year's, is finally confirmed! The update, driven by a simplified Kappa container quest, will roll out on December 26th at 7:00 AM GMT / 2:00 AM EST. Following maintenance (estimated at 8 hours, though potentially longer), the game will update to version 0.16.0.0 (Tarkov Arena to 0.2.5.0).

To bridge the downtime, Battlestate Games will host a New Year's Special on Twitch at 4:00 PM GMT / 11:00 AM EST. Details remain under wraps, but expect some exciting reveals!

Version 0.16.0.0 confirms the full game release remains on the horizon, likely pushing into 2025. However, significant changes are anticipated:

Firstly, a long-awaited migration to the Unity 2022 engine is expected. While planned for 2024, its implementation might encounter unforeseen delays.

Secondly, a complete overhaul of the weapon recoil system is anticipated. This is a major gameplay alteration with potentially significant consequences.

New additions include the RPG-26, alongside a revamped Customs map promising exciting modifications. Bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements are also confirmed, although the engine upgrade could introduce new challenges. We'll have to wait and see!
