Escape from Tarkov Developers Open Early Access to New ‘Gate’ Map in EFT: Arena — Untracked and with New Quest

Battlestate Games has initiated open testing for a new map, “Gate,” in their online shooter, Escape from Tarkov: Arena. This early “blockout” version, which lacks final textures and is designed for rapid testing of game mechanics and overall structure, is now available to players.

The “Gate” map can be accessed exclusively in CheckPoint mode within EFT: Arena and will remain open for testing until March 23rd. As part of this evaluation phase, players can also undertake a new quest titled “Polygon Check.”

The developers are actively collecting feedback from the community regarding this new location to inform future improvements and development.
