Wargaming today announced the launch of Update 8.11 for World of Tanks in Europe and Russia. Players from Asia will be able to try out new game mode and battle arenas on February 12, with tank commanders from North America and South Korea getting the update on February 13.

Available for machines of all tiers and balancing weights, with the exception of Japanese and Chinese tanks, the new experimental combat mode, Confrontation, groups players with vehicles from a specific nation into a team that faces off against a comparable opposing squad with vehicles from a different nation. Introduced as an experimental new gameplay element, Confrontation is yet to undergo balance tweaks.

Along with competitive national combat, Update 8.11 enriches the game with a new European winter battle arena, Windstorm, revamped version of Ruinberg, now featuring rainfall and fires, and a reworked Himmelsdorf with winter setting.

I am a huge fan of the Need for Speed Shift series. It was a great amalgamation of sim and arcade racer that literally had you salivating as every turn in the pursuit of XP. Now the team from Slightly Mad are jumping into the Free to play world with their latest title, World of Speed. In a new direction for the company the game will be based around an MMO experience and for a better idea take a look at the quote below. One thing is for sure the look and sound of the game are already looking top drawer as you can see in the trailer below.

"At the heart of World of Speed lies a unique massive multiplayer online experience which incorporates a dynamic social elements and entirely new ways to compete in a racing video game - from an individual to a team level,” said Ian Bell, Chief Executive Officer of Slightly Mad Studios. “World of Speed is an online game and will be continuously supported with innovative and fresh content to keep the competition furious well after its launch.”

Wildstar is a new upcoming MMORPRG from Carbine studios. Although we have not yet had a release date we are getting tonnes of information and images concerning the game. In this latest Dev Speak video we get to see the range of choice we have in terms of character look, Mounts and of course houses. With a strong visual style this future fantasy title is looking to hook new players in an already crowded marketplace. If they continue with the work they have been doing then I think they will have a strong shout.

“I came suddenly into an open and boundless prairie. I say boundless because I could not see the extent of the 
plain in any direction…This prospect was so sudden and entertaining that I forgot the object of my pursuit…”

Keen gamers celebrate project’s release in Himalayas

“Although it’s not the first time we’ve climbed in the Himalayas, this expedition has been an amazing and special journey for us all,” says the team’s leader Arseniy Gerasimenko. “We’ve broken several new trails, which was a hard, but satisfying experience. On our way upward, we stopped to get some rest and play World of Warplanes.” The hardy Russian and Ukrainian sportsmen, who are also avid World of Warplanes players and fans, spent over a month climbing in the steep flanks and ice covered cliffs, eventually reaching an altitude of 5000 meters. The group celebrated the official launch of the flight combat MMO action game by setting up the World of Warplanes flag on one of the Himalayan peaks.

About World of Warplanes

World of Warplanes is a flight combat MMO action game set in the Golden Age of military aviation. Throwing players into a never-ending tussle for air dominance, the game allows aircraft enthusiasts to pursue full-scale careers as virtual pilots, earning their wings in intense 15-vs-15 battles where supremacy in the air depends not only on a fast trigger ringer, but also coordinated teamwork.

Players can choose from three main warplane classes: swift fighters capable of engaging enemies in close dogfights, heavy fighters with deadly straight attacks and formidable armor, and ground-attack planes, able to unleash bombs and other armaments against even the most fortified ground targets.

World of Warplanes features more than 100 vehicles from Germany, the Soviet Union, USA, Japan, and Great Britain. Every warplane has multiple modular configurations, allowing for customization across weapons, ammo types, engines, and other aircraft components. These components can be mixed and matched to provide players with the ability to outfit their warbird for any combat situation or role.
