Rob Carrol, the producer of Wargaming for North America, spoke at the launch event of the new Mobile App Blitz about the studio’s plans for the future. Versions of World of Warplanes and World of Warships for iOS could also be coming soon – further ports of World of Tanks are also quite conceivable.
In an interview with the English-language magazine news10, Rob Carrol discussed Wargaming’s decision to release a mobile version of the tank MMO World of Tanks: “For us, it was a logical step and simply made sense. Gaming is moving in this direction. Many players are no longer necessarily looking for the big experience in their living rooms, but want something they can take with them and play on the go.”
In Blitz, three countries are playable: the USSR, Germany, and Great Britain. Players have 90 tanks to choose from, and at the moment, unfortunately, no artillery yet, but in a lively game like Blitz, players can expect that the selection will grow later.
World of Tanks Goes Mobile
Further ports of World of Tanks to other systems are also planned. When asked whether World of Tanks would be developed for platforms beyond the current three, Carrol replied: “I think they are in the works, we haven’t announced anything publicly yet, but we will expand there.”
World of Tanks is merely the crown jewel in Wargaming’s reservoir of war simulations. When asked whether the sister games World of Warplanes and World of Warships would also come to mobile systems, the PlayStation family, or the WiiU, Carrol told the magazine: “We have more titles in development for mobile platforms.” A specific title has not yet been presented, but players can be sure that more is on the way.
