Now you might be curious to know how the game is and how much is Tarkov. I’ll try to provide the important details about the game. Keep reading to learn about the price and the differences between each different bundle of the game.
Escape From Tarkov is a hardcore multiplayer first-person persistent survival shooter set in the fictional Norvinsk’s region Special Economic Zone that becomes a gateway between Russia and Europe. The game is developed by Battlestate Games. Throughout the beta period of the game, the developers have released regular game updates such as new features, maps, characters, and equipment. It has been in a closed beta phase since 2017.
The official site says that the players will have to experience living in the skin of the mercenaries who survived the first stage of the Tarkov conflict. The FPS games are getting a huge amount of attention in this day and age, setting a whole new league. Even if Escape From Tarkov (EFT) looks like any other shooting game, the difficulty levels of the game and the mental engagement will keep one hooked for hours without getting bored. The game is a great unique shooter with a great amount of realism which pioneered a special genre of it’s own. The game shuns quality-of-life choices that make games more enjoyable for casual audiences. The game has plenty of different weapons, armor, attachments, consumables, and items that players can use to customize their characters’ loadout.
How much is Escape From Tarkov?
Now comes the main part, the cost of the game. If you want to experience an extraordinary game like this which is loaded with many unique features, then you will need to pay a good amount. There is a total of 4 different variants of this game that they made available exclusively on their official site. EFT purchases come with instant access to the closed beta of the game. Moreover, each variant/bundle comes with a selection of other bonus items, frequently in several quantities. The Standard Edition should be fine with most players, but those choosing the Edge of Darkness Limited Edition will have free access to all upcoming downloadable content (DLC).
More importantly, the game is still available in the beta version only. So, it can be a little hard to decide whether to buy the game or not. But if you have decided to make your move, ‘Escape from Tarkov’ is available for pre-order only on it’s official website. According to the game developers, EFT will probably be a conventional full-purchase release without any f2P or micro-transaction elements. Unfortunately, the game is still not available on other platforms like Steam or Epic Games. To buy the game, you will need to register an account on their official website.
