During the new Escape from Tarkov wipe developers will show New Year special

Escape from Tarkov's wipe, originally planned for before the New Year to coincide with an easier Kappa container quest, now has a confirmed release time. The wipe and update will occur on December 26th at 7:00 AM GMT / 2:00 AM EST. Following maintenance (estimated at 8 hours, though past updates have taken longer), the game will update to version 0.16.0.0 (Tarkov Arena to 0.2.5.0).

To compensate for downtime, Battlestate Games will host a New Year's Special on Twitch at 4:00 PM GMT / 11:00 AM EST. Details remain undisclosed, but players can anticipate additional content.
