July 11, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

Gaijin Entertainment has officially unveiled a significant expansion for its popular military MMO, War Thunder, by introducing infantry gameplay. A new trailer for "War Thunder Infantry" provides a glimpse into this exciting development, coinciding with the launch of its second closed beta testing (CBT) phase.

Developers are inviting players to participate in the second round of tests for infantry battles. This phase promises intense player-versus-player combat, focusing solely on individual players without AI companions. Participants can look forward to exploring new missions, a fresh location, and experiencing numerous gameplay improvements, mechanics, and an expanded arsenal.

The "War Thunder Infantry" team is primarily testing two distinct battle formats during this CBT. One prominent mode is "Supremacy," where teams compete to control three capture points. A key highlight of this format is its massive scale, supporting up to 128 players in a single session, pitting 64 fighters against 64 in large-scale engagements.

For this second stage of the CBT, a new map called "Al-Massa" has been prepared. This location is designed with a distinctive Middle Eastern urban theme, offering a unique setting for the upcoming infantry clashes.
