With the new company Neurogaming, Wargaming will be bringing World of Tanks to the VR platform. Read on for more info on the new company and the VR game.
Wargaming and VRTech have announced the formation of Neurogaming, a global location-based VR gaming provider with in-house technology and content expansion.
Using Neurogaming, World of Tanks VR is being developed to bring the intense combat from the massively multiplayer online game to a completely new platform.
So far, we don’t have any further information about World of Tanks VR but it’s good to see that Wargaming is looking at moving into the VR space. Hopefully, you’ll see more people jump into WoT VR once it’s finally released especially with the cost and availability of headsets improving.
