12/23/2015 - New Gameplay Video for Escape from TarkovA new Escape from Tarkov
gameplay video is released The developers from
Battlestate Games, a Russian game studio, have released the hot new video with gameplay of their online game. The video is
set in the outskirts of the Tarkov city, in one of the chemical plant's dorms that is now being used as a staging post by
local raiders. At this location, characters of Escape from Tarkov can encounter Scavs, who have made the place their headquarters
and are unlikely to welcome surprise guests. The video showcases inventory management, partial weapon tweaking, search for
items, and investigation of the player's surroundings.
More info on Escape from Tarkov can be found at the game's
official page: http://www.escapefromtarkov.com/
Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore
story-driven MMO which combines the elements of FPS/TPS and RPG. The events take place in the Russian city of Tarkov, which
has been sealed of by roadblocks and sunk into the chaos of local warfare between private miltray companies. The extreme conditions
combat simulator employs a number of custom system modules to create an incredibly immersive gameplay and make players feel
the reality of what is happening in the game. The closed beta-testing of Escape from Tarkov is planned for 2016. Sign up on
