Get ready for the first official season of Escape from Tarkov, with the launch of “KORD BREACH”.

This is just scratching the surface of what to expect in “KORD BREACH,” with Battlestate Games having more up their sleeve with the launch of the season. And, of course, there will likely be more updates to come as the season progresses forward after hearing feedback from you, the players.

Here’s what to expect in the first season:

In the world of this first-person action RPG, a new season means new rules, new characters, and new rewards. Players can expect several additions with the launch of the new season, including a new League System, seasonal content, and the full integration of the system with the Expansions Hub and TarCoins currency. You can learn more intimate details of “Kord Breach” here before diving right in.

  • A New Format – With the latest update, BattleState Games launches a new season system, adding new characters with each season for a time-limited game mode. 
  • Battle Pass and Seasonal Rewards – With the induction of a new season comes the arrival of the Battle Pass. This Battle Pass is available to every player, and connects to all game modes within Escape from Tarkov. This comes along with exclusive seasonal rewards players can pick up.
  • New Modifier Mechanics – Modifiers are always a plus in enhancing a player’s gameplay experience. Players can now select a new modifier mechanic during character creation.
  • New Story-driven Quest – With the adoption of a progression-forward system, the launch of a new story-driven quest line this season provides new content for players to explore. And for those wanting to know more about the lore surrounding the BlackDivision Unit? Keep your eyes peeled. 
  • New League System – A new league system will become available after the launch of “Kord Breach”. This will up the competition factor for players, allowing them to compete for exclusive prizes in the process.
  • Tie-In with Expansions Hub and Currency – With the launch of the new season, this marks a major milestone as the update weaves into the Expansions Hub and TarCoin currency system, working in tandem to deliver a newly realized experience in Escape from Tarkov.

What is Escape from Tarkov?

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore and realistic online first-person action RPG/Simulator with MMO features and a story-driven walkthrough.

With each passing day, the situation in the Norvinsk region grows more and more complicated. Incessant warfare in Tarkov has sparked massive panic; the local population has fled the city, but those who stayed are looking to improve their fortunes at the expense of others.

Having accepted the new reality, savage Tarkov locals – “Scavs” flocked into well-armed gangs and started the redivision of the city. Nowadays, Tarkov is separated by unseen borders, controlled by different groups. Gain-greedy gunmen would go to any length to have their way, including the murder of civilians and direct confrontation with the two private military companies.
