Escape from Tarkov's highly anticipated wipe, initially slated for pre-New Year's, is officially confirmed! The wipe, driven by the easier Kappa container quest, will commence on December 26th at 7:00 AM GMT / 2:00 AM EST. Following an approximately 8-hour maintenance period (though past updates have sometimes exceeded this), the game will update to version 0.16.0.0, with Tarkov Arena simultaneously updating to 0.2.5.0.
To keep players engaged during the downtime, Battlestate Games will host a New Year's Special Twitch stream at 4:00 PM GMT / 11:00 AM EST. While the specifics remain under wraps, the promise of additional content is sure to excite the community.

Version 0.16.0.0 confirms that the full game release remains on the horizon, likely pushing into 2025. However, this update promises significant changes:
Firstly, the anticipated migration to the Unity 2022 engine is expected. While initially planned for earlier, this long-awaited upgrade should finally materialize.
Secondly, a complete overhaul of the weapon recoil system is anticipated, a potentially game-changing alteration impacting player performance significantly.
New weaponry, including the RPG-26, is also on the cards. The Customs map is slated for a rework, promising interesting modifications. Bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements are confirmed, although the engine upgrade might introduce unforeseen issues. Only time will tell the full impact.
