London, UK and San Francisco, CA (29th June, 2011) — Wargaming.net is glad to announce that the Update 6.5 for their worldwide recognized World of Tanks action MMO will be released on June 30. Along with two new maps – Redshire that depicts a traditional British settlement, and Arctic Region, the very first purely winter location – the update will feature the highly-anticipated American tank destroyers line, including the T95 superheavy monster.

Apart from the advanced US tree, Update 6.5 will bring up two premium light tanks – the American M22 Locust and the Russian T-127.

One of the most significant changes Update 6.5 will carry is replacing the M26 Pershing with the M46 Patton, which will become the first step towards global tech trees revision.

“We constantly keep polishing the game balance, and updating World of Tanks to 6.5 is yet another important step in this direction,” said Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kislyi. “That’s just the first of the two American TDs branches we’ll be implementing, so we will bring even more strategic satisfaction to our players in the nearest future.”
