Getting the ultimate conclusion in Escape from Tarkov is shaping up to be a monumental challenge, according to the game’s director. Nikita Buyanov has made it clear that achieving the best possible ending won’t be within reach for every player, framing it as a rare accomplishment that only the most dedicated will unlock. As the highly anticipated full release approaches, the developer is emphasizing that true success in Tarkov demands more than just skill, it requires perseverance through a demanding series of missions and quests.
In a recent video interview, Buyanov explained that players should brace themselves for a tough road ahead. “You need to prepare yourself, because not everyone will be able to escape from Tarkov,” he stated, adding with a knowing tone, “and not because of poor performance.” He went on to detail that the journey through the game can culminate in one of four distinct endings, with the top outcome reserved for those who complete every required objective.
“If you reach the best ending, and there are four different endings, completing it should be treated as a lifetime achievement,” Buyanov remarked. “I can assure you, not everyone will be able to do that, and that’s the key thing.” This design philosophy underscores the studio’s commitment to creating a deeply challenging experience that stands apart in the extraction shooter genre.
With the official Escape from Tarkov release scheduled for November 15, which also marks its debut on Steam, the development team at Battlestate Games is fully focused on final testing and polish. Buyanov mentioned that post-launch, players can look forward to several major updates, starting with the long-awaited Scav Life DLC. He also teased “a couple of huge events right after launch,” along with new locations and additional content.
Beyond the imminent release, Buyanov shared that the studio has broader ambitions. “For me, the release of Tarkov is part of the bigger plan,” he said. He expressed confidence in his team’s ability to deliver, noting, “I don’t really feel nervous or agitated about it, because I’m quite sure that we have a good team, they will endure and do everything that is needed.”
Looking further ahead, Battlestate is already in pre-production on other games set within the Escape from Tarkov universe. Buyanov confirmed that the team aims to “expand the universe more” following the 1.0 launch. In the meantime, the immediate focus remains on ensuring a smooth and polished release. “All hands are basically on deck testing the game, preparing it and polishing it, and there’s not much time left,” he explained. Once the game is live, players can expect “a lot of special things” to follow.
For those eager to jump in as soon as the game launches, it’s a good idea to review the latest system requirements and keep an eye on the timing for the next scheduled wipe. Dedicated fans can also join community discussions to share their expectations for version 1.0 and the upcoming Scav Life expansion.
