Nikita Buyanov’s Fragmentary Order Gets Stunning 14-Minute Gameplay Reveal
Nikita Buyanov, creator of the long-running hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov, has unveiled his next project through an in-engine gameplay trailer. Fragmentary Order is a sci-fi first-person shooter being developed by Buyanov’s new studio, Rant Gaming, following a decade of work on Tarkov’s continued evolution.
The 14-minute gameplay reveal showcases the ambitious design direction Buyanov is pursuing with the new title, emphasizing the hardcore shooter mechanics that defined Tarkov. The visuals and gameplay systems demonstrated in the trailer represent the studio’s vision for the game’s core experience.
Fragmentary Order will enter a paid early-access testing program, allowing players to participate in development phases before public launch. Access begins at $44.99, with a premium Founder’s Edition priced at $79.99. This monetization approach mirrors early-access models increasingly common in hardcore gaming communities, enabling players to fund development while gaining early hands-on experience.
The announcement marks a significant move for Buyanov, who is stepping away from his long-term role at Battlestate Games to establish his own studio. Fragmentary Order represents both a continuation of the hardcore shooter formula that gained Tarkov a dedicated playerbase and an opportunity for Buyanov to pursue new creative directions within the genre.
