Previously, Battlestate Games stated that with the release of Arena, players would be able to go back and forth between the games and play with their main PMCs in Arena. Today, during the Battlestate Games Podcast on Twitch, it was stated that this feature will be accessible throughout the first quarter of 2024.
It was revealed that there will be plenty of reworks, including ranked matchmaking, the arrival of non-ranked game mode, and four new maps throughout 2024. Progression and gear earned in EFT: Arena will translate to the core Escape From Tarkov experience and vice versa.
Players can still choose equipment presets such as Assault, CQB, Scout, and Sniper but also bring their main PMC character to the game. It will be crazy to see custom loadouts in the game, as they will probably dominate the landscape.
