This new game will offer both PvP and PvE modes, and will be playable in web browsers to start. Versions for both Android and iOS devices are planned, but no release date for those platforms has been established as of yet.

In terms of includes for the Closed Beta, there are said to be over 200 cards split between three factions: USA, Germany, and the USSR. For those of you already invested in other Wargaming.net properties, you’ll be able to utilize your unified Wargaming.net ID in World of Tanks Generals. While it may seem like a minor thing, unified logins go a long way towards player loyalty as has been proven by other leading industry juggernauts such as Blizzard Entertainment.
