After a turbulent week for the Escape From Tarkov community, when Battlestate Games decided to release a new DLC and charge additional fees to players who already owned the $150 Edge of Darkness (EoD) Edition (the one that was supposed to include all future DLCs), a new game has emerged in the arena.

Madfinger Games, an indie studio known for its mobile projects, released a first-person shooter, Gray Zone Warfare, on Steam into early access on April 30, 2024. The game is set in the Democratic Republic of Lamang, a fictional country in Southeast Asia inspired by Laos, where players take on the roles of private military company fighters. Their mission is to explore the region and uncover the reasons behind the island's quarantine.

Gameplay in Gray Zone Warfare offers an alternative to titles like Escape From Tarkov, requiring players to undertake missions, complete objectives, hunt for loot, and aim for successful evacuations. The developers have prioritized realism, especially in simulating ballistics.

Shortly after its online release, Gray Zone Warfare garnered over 66,000 players on Steam. As of the latest count, the game has received over 9,000 reviews, with 60% of them being positive. However, player feedback highlights significant performance issues, causing stuttering even on modern PCs.
