World of Warplanes closed beta begins today

Closed beta for Wargaming.net's upcoming action MMO World of Warplanes begins today.

Players who have been accepted can now take to the skies with over 59 warplanes of three different types. Planes from all of the tech trees of the USSR, Germany, and USA will now battle for Supremacy on 4 maps.

The World of Warplanes closed beta offers several game control modes catering to experienced and novice pilots. There is also a tutorial scenario to help newcomers get accustomed to the gameplay and basic aviation.

"The game development is far from reaching its final stages. The most exciting times are ahead," the World of Warplanes dev team promised. "We will be improving gameplay, introducing more warplanes, polishing the existing features, and adding new ones. And we hope to work with you, shoulder to shoulder, to create a truly great game."

You can attempt to get access in the World of Warplanes closed beta by filling out an application.  If you have already sent your application for the Global Alpha Test, it will still not only be valid for this closed beta test, but will be eligible for priority processing.
