Escape from Tarkov to get new engine and first season - roadmap revealed

Optimization of "Streets of Tarkov" continues.

The developers of Escape from Tarkov have published a roadmap. They presented plans for June-July, as well as the third quarter of 2026.

This month, "regular mini-events" and the addition of the "Expansion Center" are announced, and next month, an in-game Blackout event will be held.

In July, Battlestate Games plans to add a season system and launch the "first season" – players will be able to use a special seasonal character and set perks that will complicate or simplify the game.

Further optimization of the "Streets of Tarkov" location is also promised, along with improvements to bot AI, rebalancing of the Hideout progression and insurance system, reworking the quest system, and various technical changes to improve game stability and performance.

The third quarter is planned for an update to the Escape from Tarkov engine – Unity 6 will be used, and AMD FSR 4.0 technology support will be implemented.

As usual, these are "preliminary plans" – the creators of Escape from Tarkov may adjust them during development, and the implementation of some things may be canceled or postponed to a later date.
