Wargaming announces three new modes and 11th tier tanks

Wargaming’s plans to take tank action to new battlefields

April 01, 2015 — Wargaming is proud to announce the next major step forward in its blockbuster franchise World of Tanks: modern vehicle lines. Covered in the latest Dev Diaries, a new 11th Tier is to be introduced in the future. These modern tanks mark a new direction for both players and developers.

A few of the legendary tanks planned are the heavily armored and powerful Russian T-90, the bulky yet quick U.S. M1 Abrams, the extremely well protected British Challenger 2, and the heavy-hitting German Leopard 1A5.

To leave the current Tech Trees undisturbed, the 11th Tier will ensure player progression and game balancing remain stable. To complement the new tiers and tanks, two setups are currently being considered: separate battle Tiers of 12 and 13 for modern tanks only; Tier 10 and 11 battles, where both modern and older tanks can take to the battlefield.

With the prospective introduction of modern tanks, some gameplay elements may also require adjusting, such as anti-tank guided missiles and multi-layer armoring. Challenging, more modern weapon systems are now in development and can be expected to roll out when the new line makes its debut.

The decision to introduce modern tanks is part of World of Tanks’ continued development cycle. Wargaming’s commitment to listening to fans’ feedback has culminated in this exciting new direction. Modern tanks are the beginning of a continued historical expansion. If the new vehicle implementation is successful, tanks from further in the future may appear in game.

The Apocalypse Is Here in World of Tanks Operation Undead

Ward off zombie hordes in this new Tower Defense-inspired browser game 

April 1, 2015 — Wargaming has mustered their forces and dug out the trenches because on April 1st there’s a zombie apocalypse. World of Tanks Operation Undead places you in the boots of a commander whose Stronghold has been set upon by hordes of vicious enemies.

Inspired by the Tower Defense genre, this new angle on tank combat lets players figure out ingenious ways to fend off waves of attackers. Strategically place tanks across three unique battlegrounds. Defend against seven different types of undead from decrepit biplanes to shambling ground troops. Use a range of tanks effective against the numerous types of zombies and harness powerful special attacks to deal the final blow.

Throughout the game, new tanks can be upgraded and unlocked to further strengthen a Stronghold’s defense and keep pesky zombies at bay through constantly evolving tactics.

Points are gained for destroying the undead, keeping your Stronghold in good condition, as well as taking out bosses and refraining from using special attacks. To ensure victory, players must accumulate as many points as possible while protecting your Command Center from the invasion.

Don’t miss your chance to try out this new breed of Wargaming’s signature armored warfare and enter the Top 100 players.

PEW! PEW! PEW! TANKS ON THE MOON!

Full moon, big boom! World of Tanks on console goes out of this world with new mode and map

April 1, 2015 — Wargaming today announced that in the spirit of April Fools’ Day, the company will temporarily introduce a new “Lunar” mode and custom map, Moon River, to the console version of World of Tanks. From April 3/4th to April 5/6th, players who log into the game will be transported to a lunar landscape, with appropriately reduced gravity, for laser blasting matches of cosmic proportions.

On April 3/4th, every tanker will find in their garage a special lunar version of the M-24 Chaffee to take into battle on the crater-marked surface of Moon River. With gravity that is one-sixth of Earth’s, big air and bigger landings are in store as these massive vehicles catapult over huge chasms.

And any trip to outer space wouldn’t be complete without a high-tech weapons arsenal. That’s why the M-24’s standard cannon will be replaced with a laser blaster able to fast load and fire off three bursts during lunar warfare.

So, in honour of the silliest day of the year, are tankers ready for a fun weekend of gravity bending tank-on-tank combat in the new “Lunar” mode?
