Escape from Tarkov Players Face Daunting Task to Reach Best Ending
TOKYO - In a live QA session at Tokyo Game Show, Nikita Buyanov, director of Escape from Tarkov, revealed that only about 2% of the game's player base is expected to achieve its most challenging and coveted ending.
Buyanov stated that there will be four possible endings for players to achieve, with the toughest one being a true test of skill and perseverance. "It will be really hard," he said. "Not everyone will escape from Tarkov." The director estimated that only around 2% of all players will reach this pinnacle of achievement.
The game's developer, Battlestate Games, has been working on Escape from Tarkov since its beta launch in 2017. After eight years in development, the game is finally set to release as a full-fledged title on Steam in November.
