It feels like an eternity since tactical FPS Escape From Tarkov released into closed alpha, and well, it kind of has been.
Battlestate Games' fairly controversial MMO-style FPS entered closed alpha way back in 2016, and now here we are, nine years later, many of us having long abandoned the prospect of an Escape From Tarkov 1.0 release. However, it's in a state of mild disbelief that I say: Battlestate Games has explicitly confirmed the game's 1.0 release is coming November 15, 2025.
