First time here?” asks World of Tanks to the internet, probably. “Then how about you get a taste of our hot vehicular battle action in this trailer? That’s right, we’re debuting a new video about our game in 2024. You’re welcome.” Or at least that’s what we imagine Wargaming is telling the world.
Regular players might argue that the cinematic footage offered up for the 2011 MMO in this new trailer isn’t accurately representative of the WoT battle experience, such as tanks facing off on open flat ground at knife fight ranges (and indeed some of the video comments certainly do), but if nothing else, this new CG footage is definitely trying to inject some power and octane into the idea of playing the game. Also there are explosions. And that whole decelerating wub sound that breaks up trailer music at certain points; you all know what we mean.
