Meanwhile, War Thunderwar is an MMO style game that focuses on war gaming, particularly aerial, ground-based and naval combat. Even though the PS4 version will be showcased for the first time, attendees can also try out the latets version of the game on PC as well.
Gaijin Entertainment creative director Kirill Yudintsev stated that, “Sony has been a great partner in bringing War Thunder to PS4, and we are excited to show the console version for the first time this year at Gamescom.
