New ‘Escape From Tarkov' Roadmap Shows Full Release Coming This Year
Tarkov will launch this year.
A new roadmap has been released for Escape From Tarkov, which reveals the upcoming patch schedule and confirms that the full 1.0 official release of Escape From Tarkov is still coming this year.
The new roadmap was revealed on the TarkovTV live stream earlier today, and revealed that there will be at least four major patches in the coming months, and seemingly before the next wipe, then Tarkov will launch into 1.0 in 2025. There was no specific release date given, but it is seemingly official confirmation that Tarkov is on track to launch this year.
Of course, release dates have been teased before, with late 2024 being the first date teased many years ago. That has obviously come and gone, and it looks like late 2025 is now going to be the main release window for Tarkov.
The somewhat worrying part of this roadmap is that there doesn't appear to be any kind of wipe within it. The roadmap details patches until August, which is usually the latest we would expect a summer wipe, but the patch title is listed as 0.16.9, suggesting that it will not include a wipe. This question was asked by a fan, however no concrete answer was given by the devs, and it seemed they did not know the answer. Given this is usually a very straightforward question they tend to answer, my gut is saying there will be no wipe before launch.
The stream ended with a very brief look at the upcoming Terminal map, showing a few of the locations we have seen in screenshots but in video form. And we got our first look at what cut scenes will look like in Tarkov and on the Terminal map, with a couple of screenshots being shown of NPCs.

Outside of the launch speculation, we got a lot of news about upcoming optimisations, including improvements to almost every map. There is also an expansion of Interchange listed for the August patch, which better include some reworked extraction points, otherwise I may never play that awful map again.
A big audio rework is promised, yet again, and should arrive with the June patch. We've obviously seen countless audio reworks come and go with mixed results, but the short clip we saw of this in action did look impressive.
There's also some teased new weapons, updated animations for AK weapons, and a lot of the usual changes you would expect to see with Tarkov patches, along with more than a few very cool quality of life improvements that should remove some of the smaller annoying issues Tarkov still has.
There isn't the massive amount of new content we are used to, but we know almost all of that is being saved for the launch patch, so it should not come as too much of a surprise that these are more focused on optimisation and improvements before the release.
While no concrete info was given, it was also announced that Escape From Tarkov: Arena will be coming to Steam sometime soon, following its recent launch on the Epic Games Store. Nikita also confirmed that the main Tarkov game will eventually come to Steam, but don't expect that to happen anytime soon.
During the TarkovTV live stream, a number of promo codes were also released, which will give you some free in game items if you redeem them in game. You'll need to activate these codes in the Tarkov launcher, and when they have been activated you will get the items delivered to you using the in game mail system. However, you'll need to be quick as these promo codes tend to only last for a few hours.

How To Grow Your LinkedIn In Less Than 30 Minutes A Day
In his 1975 book "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again)", Andy Warhol, said if he could hire anyone on retainer, he'd hire a boss. 'I think a boss would be a good person to have around,' he said. I can relate. When you're the business owner, you're in charge of how you spend your time. But sometimes, you just want someone to tell you what to do. LinkedIn is no different. You could spend hours on the platform. You could ignore it all together. If only there was a plan you could follow to build your account and generate leads without the indecision. If you've got the commitment, here's the plan for you. My LinkedIn is about to hit 40,000 followers. I've been intentional about LinkedIn for the last 18 months and have figured out how to get big results in half the time. Remarkable results with minimal effort. Time isn't the issue. Focus is. Most business owners bounce around LinkedIn without direction. They post dull company announcements no one reads or share inspirational quotes stolen from Instagram. They spend hours scrolling the feed but never connect with potential clients or collaborators. That's a losing strategy and you know it. Here's what to do instead. If you want to grow on LinkedIn, you have to comment. But it doesn't have to take hours. Once a day, at the same time each day, spend 10 minutes commenting where potential clients hang out. Select 10 active accounts with audiences similar to your target market and save their profile URLs in a bookmark folder. Visit these profiles daily and leave thoughtful comments on their recent posts. Your strategic commenting creates visibility with new audiences while building relationships with potential collaborators. When your dream customers regularly see your name adding value to discussions, they remember you when they need what you offer. Once a week, block out some LinkedIn post writing time. Aim to create five posts, then post the best three. Focus on quality over quantity. Each time you sit down to write, pick a theme. Maybe it's success stories, mistakes you've made, or lessons you've learned. Break each down into clear steps anyone can apply. Use AI to turn one idea into more and schedule them each day (or every few days) at the exact same time. Post structure matters. Keep examples of posts you like as models, studying their structure rather than their content. Don't skip adding a compelling hook that stops the scroll. End with a question that invites engagement. No filler updates. Every post should solve a specific problem for your audience, or make them feel a specific way. Afternoon check in. Save 5 minutes for responding to comments and messages on your post. When someone comments, reply thoughtfully. You could ask a follow-up question. You could add more context. Turn comments into conversations by staying present and engaged. People who engage with your content are raising their hands. They're interested in what you share. Message them privately to learn more about their goals and challenges. Use their comment as an excuse to get in touch in the DMs. Private conversations are your goal. Realness with your dream customers is the aim of this game. Your DMs should be pinging with new messages all the time. Each day, batch through responses in 5 minutes. Use an inbox management tool like Kondo for maximum efficiency. Engaging with people on the feed is limited. Building familiarity happens behind closed doors. Be conversational. Ask questions that are easy to respond to. Get them talking. Get to know them. Understand their world and how you can help. I don't mean asking them to book a call straight away. I mean being human with your interactions so it's the next natural step. Your process on LinkedIn is simple. Comment on other people's posts to get more engagement on your own. Make sure your updates are high quality and a solid reflection of your brand. Attract in comments, then engage in the DMs. Build connections and relationships and increase your surface area for enquiries and luck. The aim is leads and new clients. Spend 5 minutes each week looking at analytics and tracing where your most promising leads came from. Keep going with this plan and you will see results. 30 minutes a day is ample time. Most people give up too soon. They aren't intentional with their activity. Track these results from day one and get the reps in on repeat. Post, comment, engage, DM. Set a timer for each task to prevent getting sucked into the feed. Use the mobile app for quick engagement during downtime. Save deeper work for desktop sessions. Your next LinkedIn breakthrough might be just around the corner. Building your reputation takes less time than you believe. Use this daily plan to get the reps in and stack the benefits in your favour. Engage, post, comment, and message privately. Keep going for glory. The following will grow. The leads will arrive.

Here Are The Best Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Games You Can Buy
Cyberpunk 2077 The Nintendo Switch 2 is out today, and while I would argue that it has released with surprisingly little fanfare in the media space (little advertising, no review units) it's a sold-out system destined to be one of the industry's all-time biggest. One complaint about the launch of the Switch 2 is that it does not have many launch games that you can pick up alongside it. That's both true and not true. It is the case that there are not that many brand new Nintendo Switch 2 launch games, mainly one very high profile one and not a whole lot else. But there are a raft of existing games that have been modified or upgraded to work with the Switch 2, many of which have never appeared on Nintendo consoles before. I'm going to list the full line-up of Nintendo Switch 2 launch games, along with my picks for your best options in bold. Much of this will be personal preference, of course.

Bill Belichick has tried to land Jordon Hudson ‘6-figure' jobs, insider says
Bill Belichick has reportedly been trying to line up some lucrative gigs for his girlfriend (and rumored fiancée) Jordon Hudson. Journalist Pablo Torre, who has been prolific in reporting about the Belichick-Hudson relationship, told Pro Football Talk that the former Patriots coach has tried to boost Hudson's career. Advertisement 'Bill Belichick has told multiple people that I've talked to directly – he has called her brilliant. He has tried to get her six-figure jobs on the media enterprises that he was also working for," Torre said. Torre, the host of Pablo Torre Finds Out, has been vocal in highlighting the significant role Hudson plays in Belichick's life and business. Torre noted that, sure, the 49-year age gap is something that draws attention. However, he notes that there's a big story here. As the head coach at North Carolina, Belichick is the highest-paid public employee in the state. At the same time, Hudson has been acting as his agent, manager and PR specialist. Torre disputed the idea that Hudson was merely handling 'lower level stuff' like social media. He insists that Hudson is 'at the top' of Belichcick's operations. Advertisement 'She is the CEO of Belichick Productions, even if that LLC is not actually incorporated anywhere. That's the LinkedIn profile,' Torre said. 'She is his idea mill and creative muse, per the acknowledgments page of his book. She is the person that you had to deal with if you were Matt (expletive) Damon. The whole idea of, 'No, she's doing the lower level stuff.' No, this is at the top.' Why mention Damon? Torre noted earlier in the interview that Damon and Ben Affleck were put in the usual position of having to negotiate with Hudson when they tried to get Belichick to be in their Dunkin' Super Bowl commercial. Per Torre, the meeting left the actors 'flabbergasted.' More Patriots Content Read the original article on MassLive.
