Earlier today the Unheard Edition of Escape From Tarkov was announced as part of the latest patch, promising a brand new player versus environment mode and other bonuses. Now that the edition has launched, fans are not happy with the bonus it gives and the massive $250 price tag.

The first issue that fans have is that the player versus environment mode for Tarkov is exclusive to those who buy the new edition. This is despite the fact that anyone who purchased the old Edge of Darkness edition was promised all future DLC content as part of the season pass, which you would think would include this new mode.

A lot of fans who have the EoD edition are, rightfully, very annoyed that they now have to upgrade from the EoD edition, which costs $100, in order to play it. However, some posts on the official Discord have tried to explain why BSG thinks this is not DLC.

“It ain't DLC, its unique feature of the new edition added,” said Discord user appl3z0r, who is the Lead Community Manager at Battlestate Games for Escape from Tarkov.
