March 28^th, 2023 —The battleground is heating up with the launch of the World of Tanks ANZ Premier League 2023 – Split 1, this Friday 31^st March. The esports tournament boasts a prize pool of $25,000 and the finals in May, will be the first official offline event held at the brand new, Fortress Sydney.

The ANZPL is World of Tanks’ esports 5v5 competitive mode, featuring state-based teams, a single round robin, the grassroots league in the ANZBL, and culminates in an offline LAN final to determine the best team in ANZ for World of Tanks.

With representation across the Tasman and across the states, this year’s competitors will see the return of reigning champions, the North Sydney Sentinels; their major rivals South Sydney Skorpions and joined by the Melbourne Matildas, Adelaide Action X, Perth Panthers and Kiwi team, the Wellington Wolverines.

Matteo Rango, World of Tanks Competitive Product Manager, says this is the third year of the ANZPL and to raise the stakes, significant changes have been made to the competition.

“LAN finals will host three teams instead of two, as we had before. The Lower Bracket Final and the Grand Final will both be played offline, creating more opportunities for the players to experience the live stage and for the fans to enjoy more competitive content.

“We’ve also changed from double to single round robins, meaning teams will have to make every game worthwhile if they want a spot at the Grand Finals. Also, we’ve introduced a five team playoffs system, as opposed to four previously. The team who ends the group stage in first place will instantly qualify for LAN and everyone else will battle it out for a spot at LAN and good placing. The higher the teams place, the more advantages they receive.”

“ANZPL now forms part of a growing region wide investment into community-first esports and coupled with the planned expansion of our core competitive offering within World of Tanks, we aim to offer the most comprehensive path to pro, for new and existing World of Tanks players,” said Matteo.

2023’s B League (ANZBL) will be contested by six teams, the Bundaberg Badgers, Brisbane Bulldogs, Hawthorn Hellcats, Lismore Leopards, Canberra Centurions and Kiwi contenders, Auckland Archers.

The World of Tanks ANZPL 2023 – Split 1 will be broadcast every Friday 31^st March, from 7pm UTC +11 on twitch.tv/worldoftanksANZ, with raffles for giveaways, alongside with Twitch Drops for World of Tanks players.

Commanders wishing to begin their campaign on World War 1’s Western Front before March 30 can purchase from today to immediately assume control.

Cambridge, UK – 27 March 2023. Frontier Foundry, the games label of Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV), and developers Petroglyph (Command & Conquer™: Remastered, Star Wars™: Empire at War), invite players to take control and lead their chosen side to victory in World War 1 RTS, The Great War: Western Front, available from 17:00 BST // 18:00 CEST // 12:00 EDT // 09:00 PDT today in early access to those who have pre-ordered the game. Players who purchase the game before March 30 can also take their place in the command trench immediately, for a suggested retail price of £29.99/€34.99/$34.99.

Commanders can enhance their experience with the Victory Edition. This includes a detailed digital field guide providing additional in-game intelligence, five digital wallpapers, and Frank Klepacki’s evocative soundtrack, encompassing a myriad of complex and conflicting emotions which reflect World War 1. Victory Edition is available at a suggested retail price of £34.99/€39.99/$39.99.

The Great War: Western Front offers players the opportunity to relive or redefine history in one of history’s most pivotal conflicts, taking command of either the Allied Forces or the Central Powers. Taking total control of the Western Front as both Theatre Commander and Field Commander, players will be required to make difficult decisions in both turn-based grand strategy and RTS gameplay to preserve their faction’s National Will across an immersive campaign which spans the duration of the war, and can be extended beyond 1918 based on their actions. Players can choose to start at the outbreak of the conflict in 1914, or in 1916, assuming leadership at a pivotal point where public support is fading and both sides turn to new technologies such as aviation and tanks in an effort to break the stalemate.

As forces meet on the battlefields, Commanders must carefully consider their supply and weigh up the prospect of the conflict to come. With both sides attempting to push back the enemy, each battlefield reflects the changing seasons and retains the damage caused by previous battles as the cost of the war takes its toll on the landscape. Every decision tips the balance of each battle on a sliding scale, from suppressing key emplacements with artillery and increasing their visibility with observation balloons during an attack, to designing detailed trench networks which provide unique strategic options whether attacking or defending. Victory may be achieved, but at what cost? 

Alongside the campaign, Historical Battles allows Commanders to relive key battles from the Western Front, set against Imperial War Museums’ archive footage, and will put their tactical awareness to the test. Additionally, players can improve their battle readiness in a dedicated tutorial, refine their skills and create their own battles from the ground up in Skirmish mode, or take on their fellow Commanders in individual 1v1 Multiplayer battles.
