Wargaming.net is powering two of their titles with BigWorld Technology: the award-winning runaway success World of Tanks, and recently announced World of Warplanes. Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kislyi remarks “BigWorld technology has been a perfect fit for World Of Tanks, as our user base grows rapidly the technology is able to adapt and grow with our needs. We look forward to a long relationship with BigWorld on our current and future projects.”

BigWorld Technology is also powering Realm of the Titans, an isometric action RTS based on the immensely popular Warcraft III mod Defense of the Ancients (DotA). “Realm of the Titans’ gameplay has received many glowing reviews during Closed Beta from players and critics alike,” said Travis Hawk, associate producer at publisher Aeria Games. “The BigWorld engine was a big reason for this success.”

enVie Interactive has licensed BigWorld to build Virtual Island of Entertainment (VIE), a social virtual world focused on the female demographic. “BigWorld provides exceptional levels of high-end 3D graphic realism for a larger mass audience access, without sacrificing quality”, said Stacey Hirata, President of enVie Interactive. “BigWorld has been an amazing partner that we can grow with as they expand into the North American market.”

Other titles utilizing BigWorld Technology include GungHo’s Grandia Online, UserJoy’s Moego and Tian Xia II, developed by NetEase, the World of Warcraft and Starcraft II licensee for Asia. Curt Shilling’s 38 Studios is using BigWorld in the development of a stealth title currently called Copernicus.
