Escape from Tarkov just announced the date for its upcoming wipe for Summer 2023.
After their TarkovTV LIVE stream, Escape from Tarkov uploaded an image that contains their preliminary roadmap. Other than the features that they will be adding to the game in the coming year, they also sneakily announced the dates for the coming wipe. They have also released a tweet about when the exact date of the wipe will be.
After the wipe back on December 28, 2022, Escape From Tarkov will be having its summer 2023 wipe on August 10, 2023. The game will first undergo maintenance, which will start at 8:00 AM BST/ 3:00 AM EDT / 12:00 AM PDT. This maintenance will take around six hours, which means it will end on 2:00 PM BST/ 9:00 AM EDT / 6:00 AM PDT. After the maintenance, the wipe will take full effect.
Additionally, we also had “wipe events” during the days leading up to the actual wipe date. For those not familiar, these are special events that encourage players to play and have fun during the last days leading up to the wipe. It's also the time when players start bringing out the equipment they have been saving up for the past few months. As with most wipes, once the update arrives on the wipe date, the progress of everyone playing Escape from Tarkov will reset.
One such event is the recent Free Labs event, which allows players to enter the Labs map of the game without needing the keycard. They can even enter it as a Scav. This is something that also happened in the weeks leading up to the previous wipe. As such, we can expect that we really are approaching the next wipe.
The Summer 2023 wipe will bring with it an update that introduces loads of features to the extraction shooter. This includes new weapons, various Quality of Life changes like the ability to select which body part to heal, and more. We will likely get patch notes once the update goes live, so stay tuned for that.
Other than the upcoming wipe, they also revealed the date for the winter 2023 wipe. That is, Escape from Tarkov will be having another wipe on December 2023. Much like the summer wipe, this will also restart everyone's progress, as well as bring in a brand new update. The update will include new weapons, various Quality of Life changes, and the controversial recoil rework.
That's all the information we have about the upcoming Escape from Tarkov wipe this summer of 2023. As mentioned above, it will happen on August 10, 2023. Check out our gaming news articles for the latest in gaming news.
