The tank combat MMO Armored Warfare is starting on PC in just a few days. With over 60 vehicles, it aims to compete with World of Tanks.
Armored Warfare is a modern free-to-play game, and the open beta is akin to a “soft release.” Since you can’t really “buy” the game in that sense, players will retain the progress they make in the open beta upon release.
The open beta starts on October 8th. Those who purchased a founder’s package can start as early as tomorrow, October 1st. This is called a headstart. Exact times are not available yet.
The developers assure that they will continue to develop the game during the beta. A significant number of additional content will be added to the existing 9 PvP maps and 25 PvE maps.
We have dealt with Armored Warfare and the background of the game in this article: It is essentially designed as a modernized version of World of Tanks for all “tank enthusiasts” who can no longer stand World War II. Thanks to the role-playing background of developer Obsidian, Armored Warfare also features RPG elements.
After World of Tanks and War Thunder, Armored Warfare is the third player in this MMO niche, which is especially popular in the former Soviet Union. The special feature of Armored Warfare is primarily its PvE aspects. The competition mainly focuses on player-versus-player battles.
