London (8th July, 2010) — Wargaming.net® today announced that its brand-new “no-more-elves-and-orcs” panzer MMO action game World of Tanks has gone into the closed beta.
With servers open, the company has started sending invitations to the players who signed up for the beta on the game’s ! official site. Beta key holders can now activate their keys, download the client and jump into the tense armored warfare.
During the testing period, World of Tanks beta players will be the first to explore the in-game world and thus help the development team detect bugs and address balance issues by providing comprehensive feedback.
“It’s a great and exciting moment both for us and our players, as today is the first time we share the results of our work with them,” says Victor Kislyi, producer of the game. “We are looking forward to close cooperation with our community to make sure every single part in the complex mechanism of the game works properly. So don’t wait; just grab a key, choose your tank and get ready to wreak havoc!”

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, and the Soviet Union, carefully detailed with historical accuracy.
A flexible system of authentic vehicle upgrade 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 iron empire and manifest the indisputable authority of the tank! Feel the TANK POWER!
