Founded two decades ago in Minsk, Belarus as a small game studio, Wargaming has gone from strength to strength and has been lucky enough to become one of the leading free-to-play gaming developers and publishers.
Over the course of 20 years, we’ve covered a two-thousand-year timespan, from ancient DBA Online and Total War: ARENA, to modern Order of War or futuristic Massive Assault and Master of Orion. We’re represented on all major platforms, so whether you prefer games on PC, consoles, or mobile, you can always find one to your liking.
But, of course, it’s World of Tanks that became the ultimate turning point in our history. With it being such a key milestone, we want to celebrate our birthday and welcome everyone from the community to join the anniversary extravaganza.
