Wargaming.net has announced the official open beta launch date for its free-to-play action-MMO game World of Tanks that is scheduled for January 27th, 2011. During the open beta players will have a chance to test unique game modes and explore new maps and vehicles.

“We’ve been very pleased to get such a response from our players that means the direction we are moving in goes in line with the views of our community”, said Victor Kislyi, CEO of Wargaming.net. “I’d like to thank our fans for their crucial contribution to the development of the game and remind that there’ll be a lot of new stuff added in the open beta”.

Over the past six months more than 260000 players took part in the closed beta fighting around 2 million battles and destroying 40 million vehicles with peak concurrent users number surpassing 20000 people. All the data and feedback received from beta-testers helped the developers detect and address important technical and gameplay issues inspiring the team to add new features and making the game one step closer to the final release.
