Escape From Tarkov Arena: Price, release date, pre-order, and more

Escape from Tarkov Arena is a PVPVE standalone title based on the EFT universe. It combines the same gameplay mechanics and realism to create an arena-like shooter. The original game focused on extraction-based modes, and dying once in-game could harm progression. But that is not the case with Arena.

In EFT Arena, players will pitted against each other in game modes such as Teamfight, where two teams of players each go head-to-head and collect points to secure a win. Hence, unlike EFT, Arena can be much more forgiving and is the perfect edition for players who want a casual Escape from Tarkov experience.

Although the game is currently in beta, the preorders are live. In this article, we'll be taking a closer look at the game's release date, price, preorder benefits, and more.
