‘Tarkov Zombies’ Standalone Game Teased by Battlestate Lead
Battlestate Games lead Nikita Buyanov has teased the possibility of a standalone co-operative zombie-themed game set in the Escape from Tarkov universe. The inquiry came following a highly successful Halloween event currently running in the base game, which features undead hordes in signature maps like The Lab and Factory. Players navigate dangerous encounters while uncovering story elements tied to the limited-time event.
When Buyanov posed the question to the community about whether players would be interested in a permanent, dedicated zombie experience as a separate title, the response was overwhelmingly positive. The Halloween event has demonstrated significant player engagement with undead-focused gameplay, suggesting substantial interest in this direction.
The announcement remains exploratory—no official development confirmation has been made. Buyanov’s social media inquiry appears designed to gauge player appetite before committing to such a project. If greenlit, the spinoff would represent a notable expansion of the Tarkov franchise beyond its core extraction-based gameplay loop, potentially opening the property to new audiences interested in co-operative zombie content rather than the traditional competitive extraction formula the original game is known for.
