After some gameplay videos from the alpha version of the survival shooter Escape from Tarkov were recently circulating on the Internet, the developers have now spoken up again. Just in time for the turn of the year, the Battlestate Games studio looks back on the achievements and progress made in 2016.
The 18:45 minute long developer video deals, among other things, with newly established graphic effects, the handling of weapons in the game and the importance of light and shadow for gameplay.
Extended alpha phase started
At the same time, the developers announced the start of the extended alpha phase of Escape from Tarkov. All the features of the previous Alpha are still included - but there are also a few new functions. Weapons can now break and be repaired, which should provide a completely new gaming experience.
The new raid area "Forest" is also intended to bring perfidious tactics into play with its dense vegetation. In addition, groups can now be created so that players can more easily go on a raid together.
Battlestate Games will select new testers for the extended alpha over the next few days. Owners of the pre-order packages "Prepare For Escape" and "Left Behind" are taken into account. Chances are greater for early pre-orderers.
