A new trailer for Escape From Tarkov's brand new area, Streets of Tarkov, has been revealed during the Summer Game Fest.
As fans of Escape From Tarkov may already know, a new area called Streets of Tarkov is currently under development and has just received a brand new gameplay trailer showing off some of the environments. While there have been teasers for the area before, this new trailer shows off Concordia, a business class residential complex consisting of two massive buildings located between Razvedchikov and Kamchatskaya streets.
Unfortunately, this new trailer does not bring with it a confirmed release date for the new area but is still due to launch at some point in 2021. According to the developers, the reason why there has been such a wait for the new map is that the developer has had to delay development due to the pandemic.
For those who haven't heard of Escape From Tarkov, the game has been described as a mix between a realistic, hardcore shooter and a survival game, with a sprinkling of MMO elements. The full game launched back in July 2017 but has maintained a steady fanbase due to dedicated developer support.
Escape From Tarkov is set in the fictional region of Norvinsk located between Russia and Europe. The city of Tarkov was once a bustling metropolis but is now pretty much abandoned due to the Contract Wars. Now a haven for scavengers, private military forces, and black ops units, you are tasked with escaping from Tarkov and getting back to the free world.
The new trailer for the Streets of Tarkov map was revealed during Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest, which was jam-packed with new game announcements. A small selection of these games includes a new trailer for Heart Machine's Solar Ash, a new Xbox exclusive called Planet of Lana, a Director's Cut for Death Stranding which is getting a full reveal in a few weeks, and a sequel to Jurassic World Evolution.
