Escape from Tarkov has revealed its new map ahead of today's wipe

Escape from Tarkov is a multiplayer tactical shooter that will often have you on the edge of your seat. It’s realistic, intense, and good fun for the masochistic (and sadistic) gamers among us. There’s nothing quite like literally bleeding out as you rush to an extraction point with your loot, to then lose it all to a camper at the last minute.

We’ve seen players pretend to be dead as a means of securing more kills and loot, and in my own personal instances, I’ve witnessed friends rearing to go… only to die when they realise they’ve brought the wrong ammo, or didn’t actually load their gun.

Tarkov tests your patience, and with a new sprawling urban map on the way, that won’t be changing anytime soon. The 0.13 patch for the game is currently being installed at the time of writing, and a wipe will accompany it. The star of the show, however, is the highly-awaited Streets of Tarkov map, which will place players in a much more urban environment than ever before.
