Servers for World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition beta will be going down later this week, in order to prepare the game for its final release.
World of Tanks' upcoming 8.11 update will add a new "Confrontation" mode, along with some new and revised battle arenas.
World of Tanks is nearly ready for release on Xbox 360. But before Wargaming's free-to-play action game goes fully live, they need to do one more beta.
Wargaming CEO Victor Kislyi admits that the Gold requirement for World of Tanks isn't ideal. "This we have to tolerate, which I am not happy about," he said. "I would rather add another 30-40 million non-golden members."
World of Tanks developer Wargaming only had eyes for the Xbox 360 when it chose to move into the console space.
Developer Wargaming is scrapping its current "pay to win" system in favor of a new model they are calling "free to win." The new monetization scheme is already started in its popular free-to-play World of Tanks, and is expected to carry through to the upcoming World of Warplanes and World of Warships.
For the modern tank commander on the go, Wargaming today announced World of Tanks Blitz, an iOS and Android game inspired by its wildly successful tank 'em up World of Tanks. Like the PC original, Blitz will be free-to-play.
Fine free-to-play tank 'em up World of Tanks is now substantially prettier, as update 8.0 and its graphical overhaul is now live on both North American and European servers. 8.0 also overhauls the physics system, meaning tanks can no longer casually hang over the edge of a cliff to take a pot-shot. Sorry, heavy tanks.
Free-to-play tank 'em up World of Tanks is getting a sizeable overhaul in patch 8.0, with new movement physics and a graphical revamp which runs faster while looking fancier.
Following in the wake of World of Tanks, Wargaming.net has announced the massively multiplayer naval battle game World of Battleships.
