Gaijin Entertainment announced that its military online action MMO War Thunder will be coming to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in November. The next-gen version of the game will be accompanied by a major content update dubbed "New Power."
The update brings a new version of the Dagor Engine that will enhance the game's visuals across next-gen consoles. Players will notice subtle details like the grass getting crushed by tank tracks and clouds pierced by fighter planes. A teaser trailer even suggested a fog of war effect.
On PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, the game will run at 4K resolution with a steady 60 FPS refresh rate. And DLSS technology support means a smoother and clearer picture. Many, but not all of the visual improvements will also come to PS4 and Xbox One as well.
In addition to visual improvements, the "New Power" update signifies the arrival of some new military might, including a new fleet and vehicles. While the details of the upcoming update remain vague, the teaser suggests the arrival of a new carrier as well as a nuclear bomb. Gaijin Entertainment teases "big ships navy and a lot of other surprises" in the update which will be detailed in the coming days and weeks.
War Thunder will remain a crossplay title meaning those on different platforms will still play together on the same servers. Presumably, this applies to cross-generation as well.
