War Thunder is a World War II-inspired massively multiplayer online combat game developed by Gaijin Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Shield Android TV.

Development

change

The development of the game as World of Planes began in 2009. Gaijin Entertainment used its experience with its previous flight simulation games such as IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey, Apache: Air Assault, and Birds of Steel in its development. The name was changed to War Thunder later due to confusion with the similarly titled World of Warplanes, as well as other reasons such as Gaijin wanting the game to not to be limited to aviation alone.[4]

Future development

Currently update 1.97 "Viking Fury" is being rounded up, with devblogs coming online on the War Thunder website, and the dev server already having been opened once.
