World of Tanks Console Adds "Spoils of War" Trilogy

World of Tanks developer Wargaming doesn’t stop. They are now bringing more adventure and heroic moments to its massively multiplayer tank battle game World of Tanks on Consoles.

What if a single moment could change the course of history? Today’s release of an additional set of three free single-player and co-operative online multiplayer missions — available exclusively for World of Tanks: War Stories on console — may answer that question. 

Enjoy the latest expansion to the highly successful free-to-play World of Tanks: War Stories, known collectively as the Spoils of War trilogy. Set in 1948, It features three new stories set against the backdrop of an alternate history where World War II never ended and the world grows desperate and weary after years of endless fighting. In these new War Stories, players will be thrust into action on three different fronts to fight as American, Soviet and German heroes. Contrary to previous adventures, Spoils of War sees the playable characters acting on their conscience and moral obligations, even if this goes against their direct orders.

Chapter #1 - “Sieben Ritter”

• A small town on the German-Polish border hopes to survive in the crossfire for long enough to surrender to the Allies, but an incoming Soviet force may extinguish any remaining hope. Will Captain Karl Staupe and his Sieben Ritter refuse to answer the call to make a final stand in Berlin, and instead stay and fight to save the otherwise doomed town? This chapter takes inspiration from the legendary 1952 Japanese film Seven Samurai, which sees a band of r?nin — samurai without a lord or master — fend off a gang of bandits that seek to ravish a defenseless farming town.

Chapter #2 - “The Connoisseur”

• Sergeant Frank Martinez is tasked by the Allies with destroying a cache of stolen art and priceless treasures. However, a band of German soldiers has also set their sights on the treasure and taken it for themselves. Sergeant Martinez gives chase, but can he succeed in recovering some of the world’s most sought-after treasures before they’re lost to the pages of history? “Kunstschutz” was the German practice of preserving art during times of conflict. The Allies saw this as looting. Not surprisingly, this was a major point of contention during and after the war.

Final Chapter - “Potemkin”

• The thrilling third act of the Spoils of War trilogy is set in a town on the German front lines, where a Soviet artillery commander has been selling food on the black market to keep his people from starving. Soviet high command has discovered the dealings and scrambled an armored NKVD unit to restore order and bring justice. Captain Anatoly Petrov, risking capture and punishment for defying his superiors, decides to rebel against Soviet high command and fight back. This chapter takes its name from the 1925 silent film Battleship Potemkin, which tells the story of the rebellious crew of a Russian battleship.

The three new Spoils of War chapters join five other adventures in the World of Tanks: War Stories universe that are exclusively available for World of Tanks on console that can be enjoyed solo or cooperatively and provide more than fifteen hours of playable narrative. So what are you waiting for, get online, fire up those tanks, and pummel a few enemies.
