Escape from Tarkov's wipe, originally planned for before the New Year to coincide with a simplified Kappa container quest, now has a confirmed release time. The update will begin December 26th at 7:00 AM GMT / 2:00 AM EST. Following maintenance (estimated 8 hours, potentially longer), the game will update to version 0.16.0.0 (Tarkov Arena to 0.2.5.0).
To compensate for downtime, Battlestate Games will host a New Year's Special Twitch stream at 4:00 PM GMT / 11:00 AM EST. Details remain undisclosed, but players can anticipate additional content.
