FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Escape from Tarkov: Arena , the standalone session-based multiplayer FPS 
based within the Escape from Tarkov universe, will be a mediocre in-between 
game, according to its director, Nikita Buyanov. 

Buyanov, who serves as the head of Battlestate Games and also directed Escape 
from Tarkov , told GamesRadar+ during Gamescom 2023 that Arena is being made 
to simply have as many players as possible, and furthermore, get more gamers 
familiarized with Escape from Tarkov . 

 Escape from Tarkov is a really interesting game, and we always wanted to get 
more players to it, Buyanov explained. 

He continued: We decided to make something mediocre in-between, some mid-core 
game that increases attention, and will lead to more players playing, and 
being familiarized with Escape from Tarkov ." 

The director stated that Arena will be a little bit simpler in terms of 
matches, although it will remain complex in terms of gameplay features and 
mechanics. This certainly sounds like it will make Arena a little more 
approachable for anyone whos not super familiar with Escape from Tarkov . 

In his preview article , TechRadar Gamings editor-in-chief, Jake Tucker, 
described Arena as a recruitment poster rather than a unique mode. He wrote: 
It almost feels like Arena is, if I'm being cynical, a way to get arena 
shooter fans looking for something different to try and convert them into 
Tarkov players. 

At the time of writing, Escape from Tarkov: Arena doesnt have a set release 
date, although it is currently available to pre-order - those who do so will 
also unlock Ryzhys gear preset from the Chronicles of Ryzhy series. Its worth 
noting that anyone who already bought the expensive Escape from Tarkov: Edge 
of Darkness Limited Edition will get access to Arena at no extra cost, so 
they dont need to pre-order.
