Escape From Tarkov Roadmap Overview
Escape from Tarkov is looking at some major updates coming in the near future. So far, it looks like there will be four major updates coming to Escape From Tarkov in the next couple of months. In the first update, there will be updates that fix issues that flashlights have had in Escape From Tarkov. There will be also fixes for incorrect audio issues for short-distance gunshots and explosions.
The biggest update that players can look forward to is that Battlestate Games will transition Escape From Tarkov to Unity 2021. This means that Battlestate Games can use better technology to further improve the game. This includes graphical updates, reducing memory consumption, and so much more.
After transitioning Escape From Tarkov to Unity 2021, players can expect bigger raids to be coming as well. The number of players and bots in a raid will be 60 in the future which will make matches a lot more lively. FPS increases will be coming as well with better network traffic optimization.
After this update, patch 0.14 will come out and it will be the big content update. This includes the Streets of Tarkov expansion that players are waiting for. On top of this major update, players will also get kit presets, left shoulder shooting, and a lot more in the 0.14 update. As you can see, there is a lot to look forward to in Escape From Tarkov.
