from the retrospective desk

Gaming Nexus has tackled a rather in-depth retrospective of BigWorld-powered World of Tanks. In the interview, Wargaming.net discusses some of their Asian expansion plans.

Wargaming has loads in store for 2012. For starters, this spring we are launching World of Tanks on the Singaporean cluster in South-East Asia. Tentatively, we are planning to release World of Warplanes in 2012. We’re shying away from giving a specific date, but I can tell you that it’s coming together very nicely. The Global Alpha that has only launched 23th February and we already have more than 100 000applicants eager to join the ranks of virtual pilots! It makes me think WoWP has really tremendous potential.
