Kord Breach, Escape from Tarkov's first official season, launches today after server downtime, and it is the largest update to hit the game since 1.0 arrived late last year. New weapons, a reworked task system, a free battle pass, economy changes across all modes, and a seasons system that changes what a Tarkov wipe actually means in 2026. Kord Breach: Season, Not WipeYour existing PvP and PvE characters are untouched. Kord Breach preserves that for people who want it, but optional resets and communal resets are different things even when the gameplay is identical. The first Kord Breach season runs until October 7th.
