Raid - short film for Escape from Tarkov thrills the fans, hint of new features?

 Escape from Tarkov is now available as a short film. The developer Battlestate Games has published the first episode of "Raid". We embedded them at the beginning of this news. In the film by director Anton Rosenberg, the mercenary groups USEC and BEAR meet in Tarkov and engage in a fierce firefight.


The short film was announced via a 47 hour long broadcast on Twitch. There were scenes of the port area of ​​Tarkov, which the dealer Tadeusz Pilsudski, known from the game, controls.


The fans of the game collected the main events of the stream and tried to find out what was behind the mysterious show. On March 29, the puzzle was over and the first episode of the short film series appeared on Youtube.


Action-packed shootouts in Tarkov

In the film, a unit of BEAR soldiers is sent to the fictional Norvinsk region. Contact with them is lost, however, and another team is supposed to track down the missing unit.


However, an attack by looters halts the search and also lures a USEC group, whereupon a fierce firefight breaks out.

Does the film teaser new features? The Escape from Tarkov community is currently wondering if the film could possibly teaser new features for the game. Because it stays very close to the gameplay, but also shows a number of elements that do not exist in the shooter. Some are not yet in the game but announced, others we have not heard from. This includes:


Pull Allies to Safety (Announced)

Shoot guns to destroy them

Rocket launcher (announced)

The fans are thrilled. On Youtube itself there are more than 15,000 thumbs up compared to only 264 downvotes and the comments also reflect the positive response.


Above all, the use of the sound effects from the game itself is praised and the performance of the actors also convinced the audience. In the future, many players are hoping for more material on the background story of the online game.
