FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tanks Go Stealth
Update 7.0 for World of Tanks Announced
London, UK, Paris, FR and San Francisco, CA (1st November, 2011) — Wargaming.net, the award-winning global videogame publisher and developer, announces Update 7.0 for their world-famous free-to-play MMO World of Tanks that will introduce a wide range of new gameplay features.
Along with unveiling two new maps, Fjords and Swamp, Update 7.0 will feature the long-anticipated camouflage system that will fit tank skins to the battlefields they fight on. Available in different options, camouflage will provide enhanced invisibility and add more to the strategic element of tank combat.
Clan members will be able to represent their membership by using clan emblems on their vehicles. In addition, battles within the Clan Wars will feature the fog of war, where the teams will not see each other's rosters
The new Update will also include a special model SU-85 (I) available within special World of Tanks events.
“We are truly proud to present the new features to our players,” said Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kislyi. “We will keep upgrading the game, developing new content and introducing new modes. We promise there are a lot of new exciting features to come.”
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 steel empire and manifest the indisputable authority of the tank power!
