|content=Escape from Tarkov's studio head Nikita Buyanov launched a series of cryptic social media posts in recent weeks. The teasers have led to the discovery of interactive websites and a ticking countdown that points to a major announcement on February 1, 2026. Many believe this marks the unveiling of Buyanov's next big venture, a sci-fi project called COR3.Buyanov, the driving force behind the hugely popular extraction shooter Escape from Tarkov for over a decade, shifted gears by sharing puzzling images, riddles, and brain teasers across his social channels. Followers quickly jumped in to decode the hints, uncovering an elaborate alternate reality game-style experience.

One site that emerged places visitors inside a retro-futuristic bunker setup, complete with a terminal packed with lore entries, hidden files, radio logs, and atmospheric world-building details. It feels like stepping into a post-apocalyptic investigation, with references to a fictional group called CORE Corp and tasks involving historical experiments dating back to the 2170s.A separate page now features a simple yet intriguing countdown timer alongside a hazy video clip. When players scrutinize the footage, it appears to show first-person shooter gameplay that zooms out dramatically to reveal an entire planet. The timer ends on February 1 at 3 PM GMT (10 AM EST), building huge anticipation for whatever comes next.

=== What Exactly Is COR3? ===

Details remain scarce, but the emerging picture suggests COR3 is a standalone project set in a far-future universe ravaged by catastrophe. Hints point to interplanetary exploration, drifting spaceships, space piracy, and corporate factions in a vast cosmic setting. This marks a sharp departure from Tarkov's grounded, modern-day tactical realism.

The trademark for COR3, registered in Buyanov's name back in 2024, adds to the intrigue. While some early speculation linked it to cryptocurrency due to certain trademark categories, recent teasers lean heavily toward a gaming experience, likely a first-person shooter with sci-fi ambitions. No official ties to Battlestate Games have surfaced yet, leading many to wonder if this is Buyanov's personal endeavor or something involving a new team.
