Battlestate Games, the developers of the popular game Escape from Tarkov, are currently facing backlash from the gaming community over their new Unheard Edition. The Edge of Darkness edition, which previously offered free access to all future downloadable content (DLC), has now been replaced by the Unheard Edition for a hefty price tag of $250.
The Unheard Edition includes an exclusive Player vs Environment (PvE) co-op mode and features more in-game content than ever before. However, players are upset over having to pay for access to the PvE mode that was promised as free DLC in the past. Many in the community are accusing the Unheard Edition of being “pay-to-win” with exclusive items and benefits that give players an unfair advantage.
Battlestate Games has been defending their decision, arguing that the PvE mode is not technically considered DLC. They are trying to quell the outrage by offering additional bonuses to those who already own the Edge of Darkness edition. Despite their efforts, there is still uncertainty and anger among players, with Battlestate Games standing firm on their decisions amid the controversy.
The controversy surrounding the Unheard Edition has sparked a heated debate among fans of Escape from Tarkov. Many feel betrayed by Battlestate Games for breaking their promise of free DLC access with the Edge of Darkness edition. The future of the game remains uncertain as players wait to see how the situation will unfold. Stay tuned to Poh Diaries for more updates on this ongoing gaming controversy.
