Escape from Tarkov Devs Want Your Help Picking Collaborations

Battlestate Games is asking players for their input on potential collaborations and crossovers for Escape from Tarkov. They’re not just looking at games – they’re open to ideas from any project that might be a good match.

There’s been talk of a potential partnership between Escape from Tarkov and the creators of the ‘Escape from Duckov’ series, and it seems like a natural fit. However, many other brands could also work well with Escape from Tarkov for a collaboration.

What Brands Do You Want in Escape from Tarkov?

Nikita Buyanov, who leads the development team at Battlestate Games, recently reached out to fans on social media, asking for their assistance.

My team and I have been brainstorming potential collaborations with other games or projects, and I’m eager to get your input. What game or project do you think would be a good match for Escape from Tarkov?

As a long-time fan, one of the things I’ve always loved about Escape from Tarkov is that it’s stayed true to itself. Unlike a lot of games these days, it hasn’t really jumped on the bandwagon of constant collaborations or limited-time events. We haven’t seen a ton of cosmetic packs or crossovers, and honestly, most of us appreciate that! It feels like the developers have really focused on building the core game experience instead of chasing trends.

Things are likely to shift now that Escape from Tarkov has officially launched as a complete ‘1.0’ game and its developers are looking at new options to make money and grow the game.

Recently, Team Soda and Bilibili hinted at a possible collaboration between Escape from Duckov and Escape from Tarkov. This makes a lot of sense, given that both games share similar gameplay as ‘extraction shooters.’ It raises the question: what other brands might also explore this type of game?

Fans were quick to make suggestions on social media under Buyanov’s post.

Some players have suggested the game could benefit from taking inspiration from titles like ARC Raiders and Gray Zone Warfare. Others believe a collaboration with the developers of STALKER would be a good fit, although current political tensions between Russia and Ukraine might make that difficult.

One user jokingly suggested that Escape from Tarkov partner with Riot Games and implement Riot’s Vanguard anti-cheat system to address the game’s ongoing issues.

Escape from Tarkov probably won’t follow Fortnite’s lead with a ton of collaborations, but it’s fun to think about what could happen if it did.
