Escape from Tarkov: Arena Developers Launch Early Access to New “Gate” Map – Untextured Blockout with Fresh Quest

Battlestate Games has initiated public testing for an early, untextured version of a new map.

The new “Gate” map is now available for open testing in the online shooter Escape from Tarkov: Arena.

Access to the “Gate” map is exclusively available in CheckPoint mode.

We’re excited to announce the arrival of a new location in EFT: Arena — “Gate.” It’s currently accessible in CheckPoint mode and is in its blockout phase, an early version designed for rapid testing of game mechanics, gameplay flow, and overall structure.

The “Gate” map will remain available for testing in Escape from Tarkov: Arena until March 23rd. During this test phase, players can complete a special quest, “Polygon Check.” The developers are actively gathering community feedback on the new area.
