Escape From Tarkov’s roadmap has been revealed, showcasing the upcoming patch schedule and confirming that the full 1.0 official release is still on track for this year. The new roadmap indicates at least four major patches in the coming months, with a potential launch into 1.0 before the next wipe.
According to the roadmap, Tarkov will be released into 1.0 in 2025, although no specific release date was provided. This confirms that the game is on track to launch this year, following the first teased release window in late 2024.
However, a concerning aspect of the roadmap is the lack of a wipe within it, until August. The patch title, 0.16.9, suggests that there will be no wipe before the official launch. This question was asked by fans, but developers did not provide concrete answers, sparking speculation about the absence of a wipe.
Despite this uncertainty, the roadmap reveals several exciting updates and improvements, including:
* Optimisations for almost every map
* An expansion of Interchange in August with improved extraction points
* A big audio rework arriving with the June patch
* Teased new weapons and updated animations for AK guns
* Quality of life improvements to reduce annoying issues
These updates focus on optimisation and improvement before the official launch, which is expected to bring significant changes. Additionally, Escape From Tarkov: Arena will be coming to Steam soon, following its recent release on the Epic Games Store.
Fans can also redeem promo codes for free in-game items, but these codes are only available for a limited time. The roadmap has generated excitement and anticipation among fans, who eagerly await the full 1.0 release of Escape From Tarkov.
