The date in question, November 15, 2025, first appeared in the game’s latest live-action trailer on several occasions, though at first there was no confirmation that this would be the day version 1.0 arrives, leading some to believe BG intended to reveal the release date only in November.
A few hours later, Battlestate Games head Nikita Buyanov clarified the situation over on Twitter, confirming that the date shown in the trailer is indeed when Escape from Tarkov will finally escape the beta stage and voicing the thoughts of the title’s many fans with a simple “Let’s gooooooo!” remark. With the launch now set, it means EfT has taken a little over nine years to reach its fully-fledged release, after first becoming available to select users in closed alpha on August 4, 2016.
