This should get a good number of airsoft players excited as World of Tanks is high up there in the list of video games that they prefer playing when not on the airsoft field. According to Wargaming, World of Tanks will be getting its first single player campaign next week called “War Stories”. I am not exactly a multiplayer gamer, which World of Tanks originally us, but I may just start taking at look at it seriously with the single-player mode.
Apart from playing it in solo mode, players can also work on the campaign playing cooperatively.
“War Stories is the next evolution for our brand,” said TJ Wagner, Creative Director and Executive Producer at Wargaming’s Chicago-Baltimore studio in a press statement. “As the first campaign series in the World of Tanks universe, War Stories allows us to bring a new narrative to the game and expand on our multiplayer experience with engaging single-player and online Coop content for our new and longtime tankers.”
War Stories will have two campaigns that are comprised of three chapters. Some of the battlefields that will be fought on are based on historically based. There will be stories that will be added that are not historically based such as the invasion of Great Britain and alternate ending of the Cuban Missile Crisis. These are told in-game comic strip style done by comic writer Andi Ewington, with artwork from PJ Holden and Matt Timson. This is the same team that came out with "World of Tanks: Roll Out" that was released early this year.
The first two stories that will be released on August 21 include the “Brothers in Armor” which is more of a training mission where the player is an American Sherman tank captain embedded in a Russian tank battalion via the Lend Lease Act as the Allies supply the Russians in the Eastern front. The other is “Flashpoint Berlin” which is about breaking the Blockade of Berlin during the Cold War in which a British tank unit is tasked to escorting the convoy towards Berlin.
World of Tanks “War Stories” campaign will be available on Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One S and PlayStation 4.
