Rant Gaming Studios has released a Q&A regarding *Fragmentary Order*, a new hardcore sci-fi shooter developed by Nikita Buyanov, known for *Escape from Tarkov*.
“Space Tarkov,” *Fragmentary Order*—The “Prime Batch” paid closed beta program is now available
*Fragmentary Order* is a new hardcore sci-fi shooter from Nikita Buyanov, the creator of *Tarkov*. Set in the solar system in the year 2251, players control remotely operated clones called “RepEnts” as they deploy into dangerous zones.
The game incorporates a variety of sci-fi systems, featuring technologies such as electromagnetic sensors, as well as vehicles and drones. It also appears to support squad-based gameplay for up to four players.
Development is being handled not by Battlestate Games, the studio behind *Tarkov*, but by Rant Gaming Studios, led by Nikita. Furthermore, a 14-minute gameplay video for the game was released on November 5.
In addition, registration has begun for the game’s paid closed beta program, “Prime Batch.” Access to the beta can be purchased on the official *Fragmentary Order* website, with two package options available: the “Candidate” for $44.99 and the “Founder” for $79.99.
While both editions allow participants to take part in the game’s technical testing, the “Founder” edition offers some additional perks, such as access to earlier builds and a dedicated community where players can interact directly with the developers.
Q&A on “Prime Batch” Early Access Released—Alpha Test to “Begin Soon”
Q&As and supplementary explanations regarding the game’s early access and the “Prime Batch” program have been posted on the official *Fragmentary Order* X account and Nikita’s X account.
The “Prime Batch” includes the game’s full release, so participants can not only take part in alpha and beta tests but also continue playing after the game’s release. The “Prime Batch” supports the game’s development while providing early access, giving players the opportunity to participate in the development process and influence the game’s evolution.
Various types of tests are planned for the future, including scheduled tests, time-limited tests, and open-server tests. Additionally, program participants will receive rewards based on their rank upon the release of the beta and subsequent versions, and an exclusive community for “Founders” is scheduled to open next week.
Regarding the “Founder” Edition, Nikita explained, “It’s for players who want to delve deeper into the game and gain further insight into the developers (and me) and build stronger connections.”
He also noted that the alpha test for the first “Prime Batch” participants is scheduled to begin soon, concluding the post by saying, “Whether you join the ‘Prime Batch’ is up to you. All we can promise is that it will be an amazing journey.”
*Fragmentary Order* is currently in development for PC. Access to the paid closed beta program, “Prime Batch,” is now available for purchase on the official website.
