May 29, 2012 - Wargaming.net, the award-winning videogame developer
and publisher, today announced that its highly acclaimed MMO action game, World
of Tanks, will soon be invaded by some of the most powerful and iconic war
machines from Great Britain. The new British tech tree joins the ranks of
existing armored vehicles, which include lines from America, France, Germany and
the former Soviet Union.
World of Tanks players will get the chance to charge into battle in such
recognizable vehicles like the Crusader, Black Prince, Centurion and Conqueror,
decimating their opponents and attempting to balance their performance across
two main vehicle types - fast and powerful tanks that lack endurance, as well as
slow, heavily armored machines with low-damage weaponry.
"The British tanks are by far the most intriguing models we've come across over
the course of World of Tanks development," said Wargaming.net Lead Producer
Sergey Burkatovskiy. "In giving the players two distinct, yet very different
types of vehicles, the development team has worked very carefully to make sure
that balance not only fits into the current game, but is also one that's
extremely fun. We can't wait for our players to experience it for themselves."
About World of Tanks
World of Tanks is the first and only team-based, massively multiplayer online
action game dedicated to armored warfare. Throw yourself into the epic tank
battles of World War II with other steel cowboys all over the world. Your
arsenal includes more than 150 armored vehicles from America, Germany, the
Soviet Union, and France, carefully detailed with historical accuracy.
A flexible system of authentic vehicle upgrades and development allows you to
try any of the vehicles and weapons in the game. Whether you prefer to exhaust
your foes with fast and maneuverable light tanks, make deep breaches in enemy
lines with all-purpose medium tanks, use the force of giant tanks to eliminate
opposing armored forces, or become a heavy sniper with long-range howitzers,
each unit type has its own advantages and can be extremely effective when
operated by a true tank ace.
But being a great tank commander alone isn't enough to win! In World of Tanks,
it's all about teamwork. Victory is achieved by combining your combat skills
with those of the other members of your team, each playing their own role on the
battlefield. Just add your favorite strategy to build your own steel empire and
manifest the indisputable authority of the tank power!
