We now know that the full release of Arena Breakout: Infinite is expected to be released by the end of the year, and while many of us are hoping for a firm release date, it’s still concrete enough to feel hopeful about. The game recently gained over 1 million wishlists on Steam, already becoming one of the platform’s most anticipated games, and while the game’s Steam Early Access doesn’t look to be any closer to reality, at least you should have yours regardless How about, you can play the complete game before Christmas.
Arena Breakout is an escape shooter from Tencent, more specifically Escape from Tarkov. Many consider it an easy-to-use, friendlier version of Tarkov — so much so that its developers got into trouble for allegedly stealing assets.

As a free-to-play game, Arena Breakout includes a variety of items for sale for real-world currency, which the developer says will be limited to “convenience,” but not everyone feels that way. Still, this is one of those aspects that usually evolves over time, so we’ll have to wait for the Steam debut (and 1.0 release) to find out.
