New Escape From Tarkov Edition Locks PvE Behind $250 Paywall
Escape From Tarkov’s community is currently pushing back against the game’s pricey new edition–one that costs $250, features an exclusive offline PvE mode, and now comes with a number of additional benefits players have been quick to call out as “pay-to-win.”
Developer BattleState Games recently unveiled a new special edition for its popular extraction shooter, The Unheard Edition. It features a number of different perks and exclusive items for buyers, but the biggest selling point of the $250 edition is that it grants owners access to a new offline PvE mode that can be played co-op and features persistent character progression.
The announcement of the new PvE mode being locked behind a $250 paywall didn’t exactly go over well with the game’s community, especially those who bought the last special edition of the game, the $150 Edge of Darkness version, in January. That edition promised owners all future DLC, something that BattleState Games now says doesn’t apply to the PvE mode.
