Obsidian Entertainment is best known as an RPG developer, with South Park: The Stick of Truth their most recent game. The developer has another project in the works for publisher My.com, and it's quite a departure from their wheelhouse. Obsidian has announced Armored Warfare, a free-to-play team-based multiplayer tank combat game for PC.

Armored Warfare will give players control of giant tanks, but shifts the scene to a more modern era. All of the game's tanks will come from 1950 to the modern day and even toss in some metal monstrosities that are being designed for the near-future. The game will feature modern-day settings and fully destructible environments for both PvE and PvP play. It'll also include a number of customization options that can be upgraded through a player's career.

"Armored Warfare gives players two deep levels of upgrading and progression through a huge array of both military vehicles and their own personal military base, each giving players a diverse and wide-ranging path of strategies,” said project director Richard Taylor.

Armored Warfare is aiming to go into closed beta later in 2014. Sign-ups are available now on the game's website.

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?
