World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition Launches Content Update Today
May 8, 2014 — Wargaming today announced the release of a new content update for World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition. Available now worldwide, this update adds seven American Tank Destroyers, including the legendary M18 Hellcat, two new maps, additional packages for tank upgrades, as well as new Xbox Live Achievements. Most excitingly, the update also introduces the new weather variant system, providing maps with rain, snow and night modes; a first for the entire World of Tanks Universe.
Custom built specifically for the Xbox 360 Edition, the weather modes are entering the game alongside new battle arenas and vehicles, tank upgrades and more.
Players can look forward to the following features and enhancements in this update:
- Weather Variant System — For the first time in World of Tanks, experience combat in three different climates: rain, snow, and night. Be prepared to battle the elements along with your enemies.
- Two New Battle Arenas —
- Fisherman’s Bay — Take advantage of excellent ambush opportunities with sloping hills covered in bushes, plus a combination of open spaces and irregular terrain.
- Abbey — Find the abbey’s courtyard at the highest point on the hill and explore three roads that allow passage from the north and south.
- American Tank Destroyers — Take out the competition from a distance with seven new tank destroyers that offer great speed, guns and penetration: M8A1, T49, M18 Hellcat, T25/2, T28 Prototype, T30, T110E4
- New Tank Package Upgrades — Guns, lots of guns! Choose from a variety of new loadout packages that provide an even deeper tank customization during tech tree progression. Use these packages to research or obtain new guns without giving up previously acquired modules.
- Xbox Live Achievements — Earn eight new achievements within World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition to increase your Gamerscore.
