Mercenaries are coming to World of Tanks on console
World of Tanks on PC got a massive update recently and console players have been asking where theirs is, well on June 26, World of Tanks on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the Mercenaries will rise.
A brand new Mercenaries ‘nation’ and a full Tech Tree of never-before-seen vehicles will be introduced to the game, giving players the chance to work towards a fascinating armada of powerful vehicles, helmed by unique Mercenary crews. Tailored to the new characters’ traits and needs, the vehicles are comprised of parts scavenged from vehicles of different nations and brought together to create something truly original. Five vehicles will be available at launch, so too will the Mercenary nation grow over the weeks and months to come.
Players will be introduced to the alternate reality of World of Tanks: Mercenaries through a thrilling new PvE story campaign: The Heist. An action-packed tale of espionage, nuclear tensions, and adrenaline-fueled tank battles, this adventure follows a motley crew of Mercenaries contracted to set up, execute, and escape from a raid on a secret facility. Their mission is to steal nuclear material for a client who harbours his own atomic ambitions, but the crew soon find themselves at the mercy of the combined powers of the United States and the Soviet Union. Players can tackle this story alone (like a true Mercenary), or band together with a friend for co-operative online multiplayer action.
In addition to the new story campaign, Mercenaries will have a far-reaching impact across the entire game, with the addition of new maps to Multiplayer battles. Players can expect to explore and fight through an array of fan-favourite maps ravaged by war and time, with original Mercenary vehicles available to battle with or against the game’s existing roster of over 680 vehicles.
