Free-to-play flight combat MMO World of Warplanes has entered open beta testing, Wargaming has announced.
Russian and North American gamers can enter the open beta from today, with European gamers allowed access from July 4.
The closed beta saw more than 2.7 million applications from 194 different countries.
The open beta gives gamers the chance to fly a multitude of aircraft from the 1930s to the Korean War in the 1950s. Planes are from the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany and Japan with more planned for the future.
As a bonus, players who took part in the closed beta testing phase will also receive special prizes.
“We thank every single World of Warplanes player out there, whether they’re just getting into the game during open beta or have been with us since the very start,” said Victor Kislyi, CEO of Wargaming. “The game has grown and evolved tremendously since we first announced it and I’m confident virtual pilots are going to be extremely excited when they get behind the cockpits of the game’s truly amazing warbirds.”
To take part all you need to do is register and play. If you already have a Wargaming ID (World of Tanks players), then you can use the same account for World of Warplanes.
