Escape from Tarkov Arena Closed Beta and Release
Escape From Tarkov Arena's closed beta will launch today, December 17, 2023, as announced by Nikita Buyanov, the COO of Battlestate Games, during DreamHack Hannover.
But, there's a catch. Not everyone who bought Escape from Tarkov can play the Arena beta.
You have to either pre-order the game or have the Edge Of Darkness version of the original game. But even if you do, it doesn't mean you can play right away. They're letting people in gradually, not all at once.
The first group gets in right after DreamHack Hannover, and we don't know how many groups there will be or how many people are in each group. What we do know is that starting today, December 17, 2023, players can finally start playing the game they've been waiting for.
What is Escape from Tarkov Arena Mode?
Escape from Tarkov: Arena is a standalone DLC for the game Escape from Tarkov. It combines the game's hardcore mechanics with fast-paced gameplay. The game features smaller maps and higher server tick rates to help players quickly adapt to the game's PVP mechanics.
In the Arena, there are two kinds of fights: ranked and unranked. Unranked battles are for practicing and having fun, while ranked battles are like a serious competition to find the best fighter in the Arena.
The game also has three game modes:
- Last Hero: A free-for-all mode
- Teamfight: A team deathmatch mode
- Shootout Tournament: A tournament mode
In the game's PvE missions, groups of five players have to go to a place, defeat enemies, finish a task, and then get to a safe area.

Escape from Tarkov: Arena happens in a made-up city called Tarkov. This city is the main city in a special economic zone in northwestern Russia, and the game's timeline is from 2015 to 2026.
In Escape from Tarkov, players can get better at the game by playing Arena matches. When they play in the Arena, they can improve their skills and level up. The cool thing is, that the progress they make in Arena also helps their main Tarkov character.
In the Arena, players can find special cards in the main game's world. These cards are like packages of gear that players can use in Arena matches. But here's the catch: players need to spend in-game money called rubles to get these loadout cards. Before they start a game in Arena, they can choose a loadout card to use. This lets them see all the gear they'll get before spending their rubles. It's a way for players to plan and decide on their equipment before diving into the action.
