Escape From Tarkov Creator Reveals New Hardcore Sci-Fi Shooter

Escape from Tarkov creator Nikita Buyanov has unveiled his latest project, Fragmentary Order, a hardcore sci-fi tactical shooter. This upcoming game takes the familiar formula of its predecessor and sets it in a futuristic world across the Solar System in the year 2251.

Fragmentary Order introduces players to remotely operated clones called RepEnts, which are deployed to carry out dangerous missions. Losing a clone doesn't spell the end, as it's viewed as a business expense rather than a personal tragedy. The game features expansive environments, dynamic weather conditions, vehicles, drones, and advanced technology, all of which players can utilize for looting, inventory management, and firing in intense gunfights.

Similar to Escape from Tarkov, Fragmentary Order allows players to team up in squads of up to four, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and strategic planning to survive encounters. Buyanov envisions the game as a living world that players can explore and inhabit for years to come.

In addition to the gameplay reveal, Buyanov also announced Prime Batch, a paid closed testing program for dedicated players to contribute to the game's development. The first closed alpha testing phase is slated for later this year, under a non-disclosure agreement.

While a full release date for Fragmentary Order has not been confirmed yet, fans can watch the 14-minute gameplay showcase to determine if this new project can capture the same appeal as Escape from Tarkov in an entirely different setting.
