"Take to the streets, destroy whatever you want, find cool new weapons and resources, and rescue NPCs to take back to your Hometown, a living centralized hub," Ruckus said in today's announcement. "Here you can customize, build, and upgrade over time allowing you to enhance your weapons and abilities to head out even stronger for another round of chaotic fun."

Sounds more like openworld survivor than multiplayer shooter

Could have similar mechanics to Escape from Tarkov?

Hmm, i'm not familiar with tarkov though so can't say. But it sounds like State of Decay kind of thing.

Loved State of Decay so I wouldn't mind it. Tarkov's gameplay is like that of a battle royale, except the objective isn't necessarily to kill all the other players. You loot and complete missions and other players are obstacles, and after doing your business you go to an extraction point and return to the main menu, which simulates a home base where you can use your loot to improve your build and restock before heading out again.
