Wargaming to Allow Users Experience Driving Laser-Shooting Tank on the Moon
Wargaming Public Co Ltd, an international MMO developer and publisher, has announced a limited-time event for World of Tanks. Participants during the event will get the opportunity to drive a laser-shooting tank on the moon.
In honor of the 46th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing in July 1969, the developer has planned to bring back the Lunar Mode for the free-to-play tank game.
The Russian developer announced that this year’s Lunar Mode will be available for the Xbox 360 version of World Tanks. It has been said that whosoever logs into the game will receive the M24 Lunar, a Tier 9 medium tank built exclusively for combat in space.
Players while experiencing driving and battling on the moon will also feel that gravity is reduced to almost one-sixth that of the earth. The lunar mode will be available from July 20th.
It is so far unclear if the Lunar Mode will also be available for PC or Xbox One versions of World of Tanks. The Xbox One edition recently launched in beta will roll out widely at the end of the month.
For several weeks during the summers of 1969 newspapers were flooded with stories about Apollo 11 and its three astronauts naming Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.
The crew had traveled 240,000 miles from the Earth to the Moon in 76 hours after takeoff from Cape Canaveral on July 16th 1969. And on Sunday, July 20, 1969, at 4:17 EDT, Apollo became the first manned spacecraft to land on the Moon.
