Fragmentary Order release date: not announced yet
Rant Gaming has not announced a release date for Fragmentary Order. The closed alpha has no start date yet either, and Prime Batch gives no playable access at the time of purchase.
What is on sale is Prime Batch, a pre-order of future access that opened on 4 November 2026. Fragmentary Order is a PC game and the debut major title published exclusively on COR3, a direct-to-consumer PC publisher.

Fragmentary Order closed alpha: who gets in
The initial closed alpha wave runs under an NDA and is planned for later in 2026. Entry goes through Prime Batch, the paid early-access program that runs until the public beta starts.
Both Prime Batch ranks get into the alpha. They differ in how many sessions each one opens:
- Candidates are guaranteed every major alpha playtest, the large sessions on core features, combat and stability.
- Founders also get the smaller targeted sessions and earlier experimental builds.
- Many builds and sessions may fall under an NDA.
- Both ranks include the full game at launch.
Prime Batch ranks: Candidates and Founders compared
Prime Batch sells 2 ranks: Candidates at $44.99 and Founders at $79.99. The table lists what each one includes.
| Included | Candidates | Founders |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $44.99 | $79.99 |
| Clearance | Operational | Strategic |
| Full game at launch | Yes | Yes |
| General alpha testing access | Yes | Yes |
| Beta launch item package | Yes | Yes |
| Rank designation | Candidate | Founder |
| In-depth and experimental test sessions | No | Yes |
| Roadmap visibility | No | Yes |
| Closed dev channel and direct feedback | No | Yes |
Rant Gaming has not listed what the beta launch item package holds yet.
The ranks are sold only during the pre-public development phase and cannot be bought once the program ends.
Your rank on cor3.gg, the companion site of Fragmentary Order, lowers the Prime Batch price on your own account, and that discount stacks with the vouchers from the cor3.gg event. A gift purchase gets no rank discount.
Is Fragmentary Order Tarkov 2? Who makes it
Fragmentary Order is a new game with its own world. Rant Gaming makes it, an independent studio of 150 people led by Nikita Buyanov, the creator of Escape from Tarkov.
Rant Gaming is a separate studio from Battlestate Games, the developer and publisher of Escape from Tarkov. COR3 publishes Fragmentary Order, and the short name of the game is FragO.
Until the alpha starts, Escape from Tarkov 1.0 is the Buyanov game you can play now. Its Season 1, Kord Breach, opened on 3 August 2026 with patch 1.1.0, and our Tarkov wipe date guide keeps the season dates.
A Pro can raid with you on the map you pick, level your PMC or farm roubles on it, so your Tarkov account keeps moving while you wait for the alpha.
