Escape From Tarkov Release Date Confirmed

Different early access programs don’t always share the same lifespan; some run for just a few months while others can stretch on for over a year. It appears that, based on the latest developer podcast, the Early Access phase of Escape From Tarkov is expected to last a full eight years.

Finally, after much anticipation, it seems that the moment we’ve been waiting for with Escape From Tarkov – the release of this intriguing extraction shooter – is drawing near. Up until now, there has been no definite timeline given for its launch, leaving gamers to scour for any hints they could find. Project lead Nikita Buyanov has often hinted at the game approaching a release stage, but we’ve yet to see concrete evidence of when that might be.

The official Twitter page for the game has revealed an updated timeline for its future plans, indicating that the launch of Escape From Tarkov is projected for sometime in the last quarter of 2025.

Escape From Tarkov 2025 Roadmap

In simple terms, the current public plan for Escape From Tarkov indicates that there will be four significant updates launched each month from May to August. Following this series of updates, version 1.0.0 is expected to be released.

Battlestate Games has shared that the Escape From Tarkov roadmap they’ve released is tentative and subject to change. They aim to provide an updated version of it by around June, but it remains uncertain if this revision will disclose a specific release date or simply a narrower timeframe for update 1.0.0.

A key feature across all updates is the extensive incorporation of community suggestions in improvements to the user experience, particularly noticeable in the eighth year of the game. The community established Tarkov.Community as a semi-official platform for direct dialogue with the developers.

Through this feature, gamers can propose ideas and report issues, which assists in determining priorities by evaluating their impact on the overall player community.

Here’s a brief overview of the anticipated modifications that will be implemented prior to the release of Escape From Tarkov 1.0.0:
