World of Tanks Getting Boxed Up, Sent to Retailers

While World of Tanks is free-to-play, the companies behind it are always looking at ways to monetize the game so that they can continue operations. This is one of those ways that they can generate revenue, selling boxed editions. What it means is that they can have more money to continue development, continue to make the game better and get it to a point where less people constantly complain about something (no finger pointing, just a fact).

World of Tanks will be offering special boxed editions to their network. They haven’t announced any pack-ins or special features, but I suspect there will be some free something or other in there, maybe a new tank, some extra currency to spend or maybe a radio-controlled tank? Hopefully not the one in the video below!

“We’re extremely proud to say that our headliner will finally appear in stores,” said Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kislyi. “We are happy to partner with IGS and hope that their tremendous expertise in distributing retail production will help in bringing the popularity of World of Tanks to a completely new level.”

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!
