Interchange (ULTRA mall)
is inspired by MEGA Parnas shopping centre, Poroshkino, Leningrad Oblast
Inspired by a real place
How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A huge out-of-town shopping centre on the Tarkov ring road, with IDEA, Goshan and OLI as its anchor stores and a vast underground car park.
The real place
The official wiki says the ULTRA mall is based on Russia's MEGA shopping centres, which were built around IKEA, Auchan and OBI stores, and that MEGA Parnas on the northern edge of St. Petersburg is the closest match. The game's IDEA, Goshan and OLI are parodies of those three chains.
Visiting
Many governments currently advise against travel to Russia, so check your country's official travel advice first. MEGA Parnas sits by the KAD ring road, a short bus ride from Parnas metro station. IKEA and OBI have since left Russia, so the anchor stores look different today.
