'Escape From Tarkov Arena' Beta Set for Early December Launch

BattleState Games CEO Nikita Buyanov announced during the Escape From Tarkov Arena tournament at TwitchCon that the Escape From Tarkov Arena beta will be released in early December 2023. Pre-ordering the game grants access to the beta, while owners of the Edge of Darkness edition receive the game and beta access for free. The tournament showcased the combat and maps of Arena, although the spectator tools were limited. Nikita confirmed that the final version will have improved spectator tools and teased the possibility of running large esports events. The current version shown at TwitchCon is not the most up-to-date, with features like kill cams expected to be added to both Arena and the main Tarkov game.
