World of Tanks Blitz has come to Switch today
During the recent Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, Wargaming announced that World of Tanks Blitz, the mobile version of their popular series, would be coming to Switch and in fact it is out now.
The game, which pits two teams of seven, against each other, has been going on for just over six years now and racked up an impressive 137 million players and given that it is free to play, there is no stopping you from playing either.
“World of Tanks Blitz is the very first Wargaming title to launch on a Nintendo platform, unveiling its signature tank gameplay to even more gamers around the world,” said Andrey Ryabovol, Product Director of World of Tanks Blitz. “Launching on the Nintendo Switch is a perfect match for us, since the platform’s on-the-go gaming ability and impressive graphic fidelity fit the game’s playstyle and audience.”
One of the nice aspects is that as the game is free to play, no Nintendo Switch Online is required for this, meaning you can just download and get to playing. If however you have already been enjoying the game on your mobile phone, you can simply log into your Wargaming account on the Switch release and all your progress, unlocks and stats will come and join you. Plus when you are out and boot up on your mobile, your new progress from the Switch release will carry back across.
For those tankers who want to stand out on the battlefield they can take advantage of diverse customisation options, including an in-game avatar exclusive to Nintendo Switch. Players will also be gifted a collection of goodies (available in the in-game shop until September 9) to help them start their World of Tanks Blitz journey on Nintendo Switch: 1,000 Gold, 3 days of Premium Account, and the T2 Medium, a Tier II American medium tank.
