‘Tarkov for life’: After announcing a new sci-fi shooter, Escape from Tarkov’s creator assures players that there’s enough room in his heart for both
Escape from Tarkov creator Nikita Buyanov has announced involvement with Fragmentary Order, a new hardcore sci-fi shooter, sparking questions about his priorities and the future of Tarkov development. The game is being developed by a company created by Buyanov himself. Initial confusion surrounded the extent of his involvement and whether the new project would impact ongoing development of the massively popular tactical shooter.
Buyanov has reassured the Tarkov community that there is sufficient capacity to support both projects, emphasizing his continued commitment to Escape from Tarkov. The clarification was necessary given the dedicated fanbase’s concerns about potential resource diversion or reduced support for the live-service title. Fragmentary Order represents Buyanov’s expansion into new intellectual property while maintaining his leadership role at Tarkov’s development studio.
