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.
The closed beta for Escape From Tarkov Arena, a competitive multiplayer spin-off of the main Tarkov game, will launch on December 17. Invites will be sent out in waves, with the first wave going out after the final matches of the tournament at DreamHack Hannover. The game has received positive feedback from players who have had the chance to play it. The beta release coincides with the first major esports event for Escape From Tarkov Arena, featuring a €100k prize pool. More invites will be sent out as the development team ensures stability, and a new wipe and map are expected to be released soon.
Escape from Tarkov Arena, the highly anticipated co-op spinoff of the popular FPS game, is currently playable for select attendees at DreamHack. While fans eagerly await its public release, some players at the event have access to the game by obtaining special code cards. The early access period for these attendees is expected to end on December 18, potentially hinting at a full release. Preorders for Escape from Tarkov Arena are available on the official website.
