"Exciting Launch of 'Escape From Tarkov Arena' Beta and Twitch Drops Await Players"

The Escape From Tarkov Arena beta, a spin-off game that aims to rival Call of Duty and Counter-Strike, is set to begin with the first round of beta invites rolling out after the ongoing tournament at Dreamhack Hannover. The game offers both PvP and PvE modes and features a more traditional round-based format. The closed beta starts on December 17, 2024, but details about the number of players included in the first wave and the prerequisites for participation are yet to be clarified. The game is available for pre-order at $40/€37 and is free for owners of the Edge of Darkness limited edition of Escape From Tarkov.
