The hugely popular multiplayer ballistics-fest World of Tanks has deployed to the Xbox 360. The game is free-to-play but you will need an Xbox Live Gold subscription to access it. A 7-day Gold trial is on offer to new players.
The Xbox 360 version will support 15 on 15 tank carnage, and at launch offers 7 maps and over 100 authentic mid-20th century armoured vehicles from the United States, United Kingdom and Germany, with more to be added in future.
Of course, free-to-play means you’re either going to slog your way through the ranks and earn the best tanks, or can drop some money and purchase some top-notch equipment before the first mortar has scarred the battlefield.
Available until February 28th, two “Founder’s Packs” of content will be available at launch, each containing special premium tanks, resources and items at a reduced gold price of almost 40% off.
Founders Pack 1 will contain the US Tier VII T23 medium tank, an extra garage slot, 17 premium ammo rounds, a 100% trained crew, 10 small repair kits, 10 small first aid kits, 10 manual fire extinguishers, an exclusive gold star emblem and 30 days of premium account status for the price of 6,700 gold.
Founders Pack 2 will contain the German Tier V PzKpfw V-IV medium tank, an extra garage slot, 19 premium ammo rounds, a 100% trained crew, 5 small repair kits, 5 small first aid kits, 5 manual fire extinguishers, an exclusive black star emblem and 7 days of premium account status for the price of 3,400 gold.
World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition is published by Microsoft Studios and developed by Wargaming West (formerly Day 1 Studios).
