After nearly a decade in development and beta testing, Battlestate Games has officially set a date for Escape from Tarkov 1.0—November 15, 2025. The announcement brings a close to years of speculation and positions the hardcore extraction shooter for a major turning point.
The confirmation arrived via a brief but impactful trailer, shared by the developer online. The release was quickly echoed across multiple outlets, with fans and media alike applauding the milestone and looking ahead to what lies beyond, like potential storyline integration, expanded faction systems, and polished mechanics.
The timing marks a full decade since Tarkov’s beta launch in 2015—an era defined by its punishing gameplay and devoted player base. For many, 1.0 signals not just a launch but the promise of a stable foundation, complete with finalized systems, story progression, and improved infrastructure.
With less than three months remaining before full release, anticipation is building—especially for the rumored single-player expansion Russia 2028 and the debut of 1.0 on Steam. Either could dramatically widen the game’s reach once it finally drops.
