It’s been pretty quiet in the Escape from Tarkov front in recent weeks, with nothing major happening with the game for a while, despite the expectation of a Halloween event launching around this time. But now there is good news, as a new patch will be released tomorrow morning and will be accompanied by a TarkovTV broadcast.

As announced in the official. Escape from Tarkov social media accounts, a new patch for Tarkov will be released tomorrow, October 31, at 7:00 am GMT / 3:00 am EDT. The patch installation will take at least eight hours, during which time the Escape from Tarkov The servers will be down and you will not be able to play. Assuming the patch installation takes exactly eight hours, which seems unlikely, the servers should return around 3 pm GMT / 11 am EDT.

We usually only see eight hours of downtime for a major update, which would suggest it could finally be the release of the highly anticipated Unity 2022 engine update, which will completely overhaul the technical side of tarkov and hopefully make it work much better. The update has been in testing for weekswhich should mean that most of the major issues have already been fixed.

Following a social post from Game director Nikita BuyanovIt also seems likely that the halloween event It will also be released alongside the new patch, which makes sense given that tomorrow is Halloween. Fans have been worried that the previous cultist event was all we’d get for Halloween, but now that appears not to be the case, with more fun planned for at least the weekend.

It’s not just a new patch we’ll be getting tomorrow, there will also be a TarkovTV stream, which should give us a good idea of ​​what to expect in future updates and maybe give us a release window for the new wipe or maybe even the 1.0 release. The stream will take place on Twitch at 3:30 pm GMT/11:30 am EDT.

I hope that a good portion of the broadcast shows the tarkov engine update, assuming that’s what is released with this patch, and showing what will be technically possible in the future now that the update is complete. From what we’ve heard, this first version of the new engine probably won’t change much, which could disappoint some fans. So a broadcast to show what wI will come in the future. As a result of the update, it seems like a good way to calm those fans down a bit.
