Escape from Tarkov continues to expand, as the massively multiplayer online first-person shooter has a huge and growing following on PC. Battlestate Games, the game's developer, has supported the game with great effort, and recently a new video dropped online showing off what will be the next map in Escape from Tarkov.
Streets of Tarkov was teased in a gorgeous trailer on the developer's Youtube channel. The video showcases about two minutes of gameplay, as a player simply walks through a wartorn and abandon downtown metropolis. Escape from Tarkov runs on Unity, one of the best engines available, and the visuals in the teaser are remarkable.
As the player walks through the city streets, they eventually make their way into one of the buildings. The sheer detail in each room is astounding, and the graphics and lighting are impressive. What's more, the video ends with the player looking out of the window up towards gigantic skyscrapers above, indicating that the entire city will be explorable, and will most likely have the same impressive amount of detail. Even more intricate than levels like Interchange, which is getting a rework for Tarkov, Streets of Tarkov looks to be a fan-favorite map.
City gunfights and exploration on such a large scale are very impressive, and usually only relegated to single-player style games. Even a game like GTA 5Â online, which has a huge city to traverse, doesn't allow players to climb inside of most buildings. In Tarkov, it's possible that much of the areas will be explorable. This type of gameplay in an MMO game is intriguing, as fans have been asking for city maps in battle royals and online experiences as apposed to open outdoor gameplay.
The developer has continued to support the game, as just last month WW2 weapons were introduced to Escape From Tarkov. The newest patch, that dropped the same time as the Streets of Tarkov teaser, added changes to the dog tags in-game, prioritization for building and crafting, and loads of general fixes to gameplay and audio.
There are tons of details about Escape from Tarkov that players who are getting into the game should know. But one thing is for certain, the additional maps and added support of the game don't seem to be coming to an end any time soon, and that support is detailed and impressive.
Escape from Tarkov is in beta on PC.
