Escape from Tarkov (EFT) is a popular shooter known for its tough gameplay. The new Arena mode is scheduled to start this weekend.

What is EFT: Arena? Escape from Tarkov: Arena will be an independent game that, like its model – the extraction shooter Escape from Tarkov – relies on weapon behavior that is as realistic as possible and tough gameplay.

  • In addition to various PvP modes, the game will also have PvE content.
  • The various maps that EFT: Arena has to offer are set in the fictional Russian city of Tarkov.
  • Selected streamers and event guests have already been able to test the game at various gaming events. The main focus is on one mode in which two teams of 5 compete against each other.

    • EFT: Arena can also be played again at the currently ongoing DreamHack Hannover 2023. The development studio Battlestate Games also showed a trailer there announcing the start of beta tests.

    The first wave will consist of players who first purchased the most expensive version of Escape from Tarkov, the Edge of Darkness Limited Edition. In addition, those who pre-ordered EFT: Arena first (via Twitch) will receive priority access.

    How much does EFT: Arena cost? You can pre-order EFT: Arena as a standalone game or get access through the Edge of Darkness Limited Edition of Escape from Tarkov. Depending on which variant you choose, the price fluctuates significantly.

  • 37.00 euros – Pre-order EFT Arena as a standalone game
  • 155 euros – EFT Arena received as a buyer of the “Edge of Darkness Limited Edition” of Escape from Tarkov

    • If you want to buy EFT: Arena, you can only do so via the game’s website. The shooter is not available on Steam or other well-known launchers such as the Epic Games Store. This also applies to the “normal” Escape from Tarkov:
