New In-Game Soundtrack Composed by 'Avid Tankers'

World of Tanks will soon be getting some pretty sweet new in-game music, notable for most of it being created by avid tankers themselves. Heavy metal band, Sabaton, is bringing a special vehicle into the game, while Akira Yamaoka of Silent Hill fame has created an epic score.

“Music is an important part of the gaming experience and these new soundtracks will inject a burst of life to World of Tanks,” said Maxim Chuvalov, World of Tanks Marketing Director. “Working closely with talented musicians like Sabaton and Akira Yamaoka was an awesome experience for us. Yamaoka-san’s track will be added to the OST as a gift to the World of Tanks community and fans will be able to check it out soon. Together with Sabaton, who are keen World of Tanks players, we’re releasing a new, awesome music video, which will drop today. There’s no doubt that a lot of talented people make up our community and we love inspiring them.”

Both Sabaton and Akira Yamaoka will be present with the World of Tanks team at this year's Gamescom. Get ready to rock the house!
