The developers have ambitious blueprints for the future of EFT and the expanded universe.
Battlestate Games lead Nikita Buyanov continues his series of media engagements. Most recently, Buyanov sat down with streamer WELOVEGAMES to outline upcoming project milestones and offer a glimpse into his personal life behind the scenes.
- Production is underway on a high-budget cinematic series that will explore the pre-conflict history of Tarkov, the events depicted in the game, and the franchise’s future trajectory.
- Internal discussions are currently revolving around “Tarkov 2.0.” This is conceptualized not as a standalone sequel, but as a massive structural overhaul aimed at optimizing the technical engine, introducing quality-of-life refinements, and hosting more frequent in-game and community-driven events.
- A comprehensive graphical rework is in the pipeline, alongside the first major expansion titled “Scav Life,” which will introduce a customizable hideout specifically for Scav characters.
- The long-awaited transparent weapon magazines will eventually be integrated into the game’s arsenal.
It was noted that the initial surge of popularity during the launch phase caught Nikita by surprise and served as a creative “reboot.” Consequently, the Battlestate Games chief is more motivated than ever to nurture the long-term evolution of Escape from Tarkov.
