Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore and realistic online first-person action RPG/Simulator with massively multiplayer online (MMO) features and a story-driven walkthrough. It is set in the fictional Norvinsk region in Northwestern Russia, where a war is taking place between two private military companies (United Security and BEAR) over a political scandal regarding the area’s “special economic zone”. The player is tasked with escaping the city of Tarkov by either joining one of the private military companies or by trying to acquire precious loot from the sealed areas.
The players will have to experience living in the skin of one of the mercenaries who survived the initial stage of the Tarkov conflict. After choosing one of the sides – USEC or BEAR – the player’s character starts to make his way out of the city. Tarkov is sealed off by UN and Russian military, supply chains are cut, communication with operational command is lost, and in these conditions everyone has to make his own choices of what to do and how to get out of the chaos-ridden metropolis.
