It’s not all warehouses and woods in Tarkov

Battlestate today gave a new look atEscape From Tarkov’s next map, named Streets Of Tarkov. Escaping the woods, warehouses, villages, and industrial facilities of previous maps, it’ll head right into the big city. Battlestate say it will be the hardcore PvP first-person scavenge-o-shooter’s “biggest and most detailed location ever”. I say it has some unexpectedly stylish apartments for a game where you’redesperate to find bog roll.

“It will be the biggest and most detailed location ever,” Battlestate COO Nikita Buyanov saidon the PC Gaming Showtoday. “There will be a lot of explorable buildings and grounds. It’s an attempt to simulate the city, the realistic modern city.”

A location like this does seem important for contrast. The game’s set in a Russian region which collapsed so hard that civilians fled and armed factions took over, but it doesn’t have that full vibe if you’re mostly poking around warehouses and the occasional run-down shopping centre (which, really, you can find on any British high street).

Escape From Tarkov is currentlyin paid beta, with access coming if you pre-order for €35.
