Trivia[]

Escape from Tarkov is part of the "Russia 2028 universe", which is also shared by games such as "Contract Wars" and "Hired Ops". The game has a tie-in movie titled "Raid" and a tie-in series titled "The Chronicles of Ryzhy" as well as 3 tie-in books. The game takes place somewhere between the years 2015 and 2026 after an in-universe event called the "Contract Wars". Escape from Tarkov is a prequel to the game "Russia 2028" which was a conceptual prototype of a game that was deemed too ambitious. Russia 2028 is to be re-made from the ground up after the release of Escape from Tarkov.
