Escape From Tarkov Lead Game Designer leaves Battlestate Games after nine years

Escape From Tarkov lead game designer Jean Tyulegenov has left Battlestate Games after nearly nine years.

Tyulegenov said he was grateful to the studio and its leadership for the chance to help shape the game.

His work helped guide Tarkov from closed beta to its 1.0 release.

The departure of a key creative lead raises questions about future changes for the extraction shooter.
