In 2015, Nikita Buyanov introduced the gaming community to "Escape From Tarkov". This realistic first-person shooter promised an immersive gaming experience in the intense and gritty environment of Tarkov. The project included both the main multiplayer component and the more competitive game "Escape from Tarkov: Arena".
Over the past 8 years, numerous pledges and commitments have been made to the game's buyers. The expectations for Escape From Tarkov are exceptionally high, reflecting the ambitious goals set by Nikita Buyanov and the development team. The community eagerly anticipates the realization of the game's promised features and the unique gameplay it is meant to deliver.
TarkovPromiseTracker is a good faith attempt to catalog public claims and commitments made by Battlestate Games. It is intended to be useful and constructive for both fans and developers. In the absence of similar resources it exists because the need is indeed great.
