Wargaming.net recently announced their top-secret BigWorld-powered title – “World of Tanks”. Their early prototype, which was seen by a select few at Moscow’s recent Russian Game Developer’s Conference (KRI), featured heavy PvP arena-style action between Soviet and German forces along the Eastern Front in WWII.

The title is currently expected to go into beta in Russia and former Soviet countries later this year. We’ll keep you informed of their progress, but until then, you can find additional information at their (Russian) site, World of Tanks, and as always you can check out their main site Wargaming.net
