Escape from Tarkov's wipe, initially slated for pre-New Year's release due to a simplified Kappa container quest, now has a confirmed date and time. The update will commence on December 26th at 7:00 AM GMT / 2:00 AM EST. Following maintenance (estimated at 8 hours, though past updates have exceeded this), the game will be updated to version 0.16.0.0 (Tarkov Arena to 0.2.5.0).
To keep players engaged during downtime, Battlestate Games will host a New Year's Special Twitch stream at 4:00 PM GMT / 11:00 AM EST. The stream's specific content remains undisclosed, but additional information is anticipated.

Version 0.16.0.0 confirms the full game release remains pending, likely extending into 2025. However, several significant features are expected:
Firstly, a long-awaited transition to the Unity 2022 engine is anticipated. While planned for 2024, implementation may have been delayed.
Secondly, a complete overhaul of the weapon recoil system is expected, potentially significantly impacting gameplay.
New weaponry, including the RPG-26, is also on the horizon. The Customs map will undergo a rework, introducing notable changes. Bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements are confirmed, although the engine upgrade might introduce unforeseen issues. The overall impact remains to be seen.
