FIRST EVER ESCAPE FROM TARKOV LIVESTREAM ANNOUNCED

Long Awaited Look At Escape From Tarkov Coming This Week

Battlestate Games is inviting everyone to YouTube Gaming for Escape from Tarkov’s first ever livestream hosted by the Escape from Tarkov development team, debuting this Wednesday, May 18 at 11:00am – 1:00pm PDT. The stream will feature a comprehensive first look of live gameplay, weapon handling, character loadouts, new loot interaction, door opening mechanisms, inventory management and PvE character behavior. The stream will also showcase never – seen – before game locations under varying time and weather conditions, and – of course – fast – paced, adrenaline – laden, combat .

Unlike ‘casual’ shooters, Escape from Tarkov is a realistic combat simulator that takes into account factors such as character’s physical state, injury types and the environment. Each choice you make has a serious and visible consequence. You have full control over movement, environment interaction, cover fire and other elements. Choose to execute a head-on assault of the main gates under a hail of bullets or maneuver a covert breach through the back entrance – any tactical decision can be realized in Escape from Tarkov.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore story-driven MMO featuring elements of FPS and RPG. The events take place in the Russian city of Tarkov, which has been sealed off by roadblocks and sunk into the chaos of local warfare between private military companies. Escape from Tarkov’s Hazardous Environment Combat Simulator employs a number of custom system modules to create incredibly immersive gameplay and make players feel the reality of what is happening in the game.

In our latest video, What is Total War: WARHAMMER?, we give those who may not yet have experienced the glory of being a mighty Total War general, an overview of what lies in store for the budding military strategist.

Total War: WARHAMMER is essentially two games in one. You’ll lead your chosen race on the Grand Campaign map, managing your empire in matters of diplomacy, economy and military strength. You’ll command great heroes and customise them with a wealth of options pertaining to skills, spells and personal quests. You’ll make friends and then stab them in the back to further your own diabolical or benevolent ends. You’ll ultimately strike the balance between survival and conquest as you strive to expand your empire from the southern Badlands to the Northern Wastes.

But with expansion, comes the inevitable conflict and it’s on the battlefields of the Old World where you’ll hone your skills as a military tactician. Total War: WARHAMMER features breath-taking, real time battles, the likes of which have never been realised in a Warhammer video game. Huge flying monsters will swoop from the sky with deadly intent, reality itself will ripple with the winds of magic leaving destruction in their wake and amongst the rank and file troops, heroes will emerge on the battlefield to bring you glory.
