The team behind World of Tanks is trying out a new style of tank-based combat

World Of Tanks: Heat Is A Hero Shooter Where The Heroes Have Customizable Tanks

This new take on World of Tanks will be the first game in Wargaming's history to launch simultaneously across multiple platforms. As such, it will also offer cross-play and cross-progression on each platform, which will allow players to join matches on console and PC seamlessly on one account.

The official announcement also describes World of Tanks: Heat as "free-to-win," meaning that while in-game purchases will be available, they will not be necessary in order to keep up with competition. The game's monetization, according to Wargaming, "focuses on cosmetics, battle passes, and time-savers."

World of Tanks: Heat will launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. No official launch window has been provided as of this writing.
