Battlestate Games, the developer of Escape from Tarkov and Escape from Tarkov Arena, has announced that Escape from Tarkov Arena will soon be available on the Epic Games Store but is playing coy about the official drop date. You can add the game to your wishlist on the official Epic Games Store page now.

Players will be able to purchase a digital copy of the game in the store, but installation, launching, and updates will still be handled through the Battlestate Games launcher, which requires an Escape from Tarkov account.

Recently, the first iteration of the Battlestate Games Account Center became available to players. Its main goal is to simplify the user experience and provide even greater protection for user data.

Currently, the Account Center allows you to:

  1. Register and log in to EFT and EFT: Arena projects
  2. Apply additional security settings to your profile and change your existing password.
  3. Link and verify the connection between your EFT account and your Twitch profile.

Nikita Buyanov, Head of Battlestate Games, comments on the partnership.

Teaming up with Epic Games Store has opened up a new avenue for Battlestate Games, marking the next step in the company’s journey. “This is not just a step forward but a natural evolution for the game and its community. Epic Games Store is a reliable partner and a great platform that will help introduce Arena to a new audience and lay the groundwork for future releases on other platforms,” shared Nikita Buyanov, head of Battlestate Games.

“We continue to explore all available opportunities and, as always, will keep players informed about our next steps. Very soon, a new patch will be released for Escape From Tarkov Arena, launching the first season of the Battle Pass, adding long-awaited weapon and gear customization, and bringing many other improvements. Most likely, this update will coincide roughly with the game’s release on Epic Games Stores.”

What is Escape from Tarkov Arena?

Escape from Tarkov Arena combines the hardcore mechanics of Escape from Tarkov and fast-paced gameplay of session matches, offering players a new perspective on the Tarkov universe.

The city of Tarkov is overrun with chaos. While corporations and private military companies wage their war in the streets, a mysterious group, the Masters of Arena, led by Ref, operate in the shadows. They have created clandestine fighting grounds where the best warriors battle for glory, money, and survival.

You are an Arena gladiator. Will you become the next legend?

Here are the expected features players can expect:

  • Tactical team matches and free-for-all all gunfights
  • Realistic weapon and health mechanics
  • Variety of arenas with unique combat conditions
  • 200+ weapons and hundreds of attachments from Escape from Tarkov
  • Ranked game modes and Esports tournaments
