The next target for World of Tanks is PS4, bringing a slew of new features to the battle. Complete DUALSHOCK4 functionality means players will feel, hear and touch the battle like never before by incorporating light bar and controller speaker capabilities, as well as touchpad support. World of Tanks on PS4 will also support other key platform features, including Share Play and Vita Remote Play, as well as revamped controls designed to optimize the handheld experience. Exclusive to the  PS4, for a limited time only, are two new maps.

Most excitingly, World of Tanks on PS4 is free to all PlayStation account holders with no Playstation Plus membership needed in order to play. Gamers who have PS Plus membership, however, will gain access to a number of exclusive benefits and items, including a free premium tank with exclusive camouflage, three days of Premium Account time and special discounts on other purchases.

World of Tanks on PS4 will offer a three-day Open Beta, running December 4–6. The Open Beta coincides with the PlayStation Experience weekend, taking place December 5 and 6 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA. Event attendees can play World of Tanks on PS4 for the first time in North America at Wargaming booth #1200.

Exclusive in-game items await those taking part in the three day Beta event. All players who login during the Beta period will receive a PlayStation® 20th anniversary exclusive M22 Locust US light tank, adorned in a tribute PlayStation® grey color scheme honoring the original PlayStation® along with a special emblem. Pre-Release bundles will become available in the PlayStation®Store which include a free T1E6-PS US Premium light tank with exclusive camouflage and four Founder’s Packs with special Premium tanks available for a limited time.

“Wargaming is excited to be working with Sony to bring World of Tanks to a new audience with PS4,” said TJ Wagner, Executive Producer at Wargaming. “The platform allows us to develop World of Tanks like never before with custom features and functionality such as PlayStationVita Remote Play, and we are thrilled to start rolling the game out to Sony tankers worldwide.”
