Nikita Buyanov’s ‘Fragmentary Order’ Gets First Gameplay Reveal

Nikita Buyanov, head of studio at Battlestate Games, has unveiled the first gameplay footage for Fragmentary Order, his upcoming sci-fi shooter developed with Rant Gaming. Initially revealed earlier this year, the game has generated significant anticipation from fans who describe it as “Space Tarkov,” though Buyanov emphasizes it offers considerably more depth and complexity than that comparison suggests.

The gameplay teaser was revealed as part of an NVIDIA showcase, providing the gaming community with its first concrete look at the hardcore sci-fi shooter’s mechanics and visual presentation. This initial glimpse serves as an appetizer for a more comprehensive gameplay reveal scheduled for the following month, which will showcase additional features and systems in greater detail.

Despite undertaking this ambitious new project, Buyanov has not stepped away from Escape from Tarkov, the game that established Battlestate Games’ reputation in the hardcore gaming community. He continues to balance his responsibilities across both projects, maintaining active involvement in Tarkov’s ongoing development while pioneering this new sci-fi venture.

The reveal represents a significant moment for fans of complex, demanding shooters. The decision to debut gameplay through an NVIDIA showcase suggests the game will leverage modern graphics technologies. With a full gameplay reveal coming the following month, this milestone marks an important step in building anticipation for what many expect to be another major release from the Tarkov creators.
