World of Tanks 1.0 update detailed, coming March 2018

Wargaming will reimagine World of Tanks in March.

Update 1.0 will have a new graphics engine, HD Maps, and an authentic soundtrack. These big enhancements will overhaul the core tech with a new CORE graphics engine. This will also see more than 25 maps redesigned for modern graphics standards. There will be a more atmospheric and authentic soundtrack as well. Milos Jerabek, World of Tanks Development Director, commented:

“Update 1.0 is a true game-changer. Though the spirit of the game remains the same, the introduction of the new graphics engine leads to a far greater boost in image fidelity than a simple resolution increase. It’s a staggering difference from the game as you know it, and we can’t wait for players to get hands-on with it.”
