The basics

What is Fragmentary Order? A hardcore sci-fi, first-person multiplayer shooter. The official site describes "tactical combat simulation, survival, and risk within a fully systemized future of remote warfare," set across the Solar System in 2251. You run a RepEnt, a remotely operated clone, on contracts in high-risk zones.

Who makes it? Rant Gaming, an independent studio led by Nikita Buyanov, the game director of Escape from Tarkov. About 150 people as of November 2026, aiming for at least 500. COR3 publishes it, and it is COR3's first major title.

Is it the same universe as Tarkov? Yes, confirmed on November 5, 2026. It is not a sequel. See vs Tarkov.

Release and price

When does it come out? No release date. The first closed alpha is planned before the end of 2026. Details in the release-date briefing.

How much does it cost? No standalone price yet. Prime Batch costs $44.99 (Candidate) or $79.99 (Founder), and both include the full game at release. Your COR3 rank lowers the price. See Prime Batch.

Can I play it now? Not yet. The free part you can play today is the cor3.gg ARG, which raises your rank.

PC and platforms

What are the system requirements? Not published. What is known: it is PC only and built on Unreal Engine 5. We will add the official minimum and recommended specs here the day they appear.

Is it on Steam, PS5 or Xbox? No. It is sold only on COR3, and the developers say it is in development for PC only. See Steam & platforms.

Gameplay

Is it single player? No. It is multiplayer with squads of up to four. PvE is integrated into the game, but no single-player campaign has been announced. See PvE.

Is it an extraction shooter? It has extraction, but Nikita Buyanov calls it "a next-generation combat simulator" and says extraction isn't central. See the gameplay breakdown.

How big are the maps? Reported at three to four times a Tarkov map (April 2026) and about five times (June 2026), with 40–50 players per map.

Alpha and community

Can I stream the alpha? Not the first wave. It is under NDA.

Where is the official news? @fragorder and @cor3corp on X, fragmentaryorder.com and cor3.gg. r/FragmentaryOrder is a community subreddit, not an official channel.
