Nikita Buyanov reveals Fragmentary Order gameplay

Nikita Buyanov, the game director behind Escape from Tarkov, has premiered the first gameplay trailer for his new hardcore sci-fi tactical shooter, Fragmentary Order. The 14-minute in-engine footage showcases a setting in the Solar System in the year 2251.

Developed by Rant Gaming Studios, the game features a premise where war is outsourced. Players control remotely operated clones known as RepEnts. The title utilizes a hard sci-fi approach, emphasizing realistic mechanics where electronic sensors can expose a player's own signature to enemies. Gameplay involves large-scale maps, vehicles, drones, and squad-based operations for up to four players.

Buyanov also announced the Prime Batch program, a paid early access and closed testing initiative. The program offers two tiers: Candidate, starting at $44.99, and Founder, starting at $79.99. The first closed alpha test under non-disclosure agreements is scheduled for late 2026.
