In one of the recent Twitch streams, the devs from Battlestate Games shared details about the new game’s features and big Tarkov changes that should arrive in the game this year. In this article, we compiled everything you need to know about the upcoming updates.
Major Changes Coming to the Game
Earlier this month, the EFT game director Nikita Buyanov shared the studio plans for the game during a live broadcast on Battlestate Games Twitch channel. According to his announcements, we should expect a new patch to be released by the end of April and another bigger one with a possible wipe in May. But that’s not all Tarkov news we’ve gotten from that stream.
The devs also talked a lot about the changes they’re working on right now, so let’s walk you through the most notable ones.

Make the Most out of Your Game Before the Wipe
We’re sure there are more announcements about next Tarkov update to come, and we most likely will learn more about the devs’ plans soon. But even these changes make us extremely excited about the future content.
And as we’ve learned, there most likely will be a wipe in May, meaning that now is the perfect time to level up, finish all unfinished quests, earn currency, and beat raids.
