As promised a week ago, the final version of World of Tanks has launched on Xbox 360, bringing with it its 15v15 team-based tank battles. Soldiers can jump into tanks from the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom across seven different maps. Additional nations and tanks will be made available in future updates.

To help celebrate, Wargaming is offering premium Founders Packs, which offer premium account status, along with special tanks and resources. The first Founders Pack will include a US Tier VII T23 medium tank, while the Founders Pack 2 will feature a German Tier V PxKpfw V-IV medium tank. Tank enthusiasts that pick up both packs (priced at 6,700 and 3,400 gold, respectively) will also get a Russian T-127 light premium tank.

World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition is free-to-play... sort of. You'll still need an Xbox Live Gold membership to participate, much to Wargaming's chagrin.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
