First infantry gameplay tests dedicated to World War I will start in the next 24 hours

Gaijin Entertainment is happy to announce a revolutionary update for the military online action War Thunder! The long awaited and highly requested addition of infantry to the battlefields of War Thunder is finally here.

War Thunder was constantly pushing the boundaries and bringing to life legendary weaponry from various eras. That’s why this time the game will grow not only in depth with the introduction of armored vehicles and aircraft from World War I, but also in scale, with infantry now joining the fight!

Very soon, a large-scale closed beta test of infantry will begin. We’ll share more details about the tech trees, weaponry, gear, and gameplay features in future devblogs. In the next 24 hours, players will get the first chance to take part in test battles featuring infantry during a special event dedicated to World War I.

Players are already familiar with the devastating power of machines — on land, in the sky, and at sea. But everything is about to change when infantry, the true decisive force of the battlefield, finally enters the fray.

From April 1st to 8th, players will battle for treasure, collect rare vehicles in pirate trophies, and explore the seas in style. The update bring a stunning Caribbean location filled with reefs, shoals, and that perfect vacation-sunset illumination—if your idea of a vacation involves cannon fire and tactical ambushes.

Don’t expect the time travel to stop in the 1600s. The developers are already charting a course even further back—toward the oar-driven clashes of ancient history.

A debauched, darkly hilarious adventure is now coming to your collection in glorious physical form!

Barcelona, Spain – 1st April 2025. Buckle up, sinners! NetherWorld is crashing onto Nintendo Switch in a brand-new physical edition, now open for pre-orders! SelectaPlay and developer Hungry Pixel are bringing their twisted, booze-soaked, worm-infested, darkly hilarious 2D action-adventure narrative game to Nintendo Switch in a physical format, launching alongside the digital release for PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch later this year.

The boxed edition doesn’t just look good on your shelf, it comes with a full-color ‘NetherWorld for Dummies’ manual, immersing you even deeper in the debauchery. If you love collecting physical treasures (or just want something tangible to clutch while questioning your life choices), get your pre-order in now! Check with your local stockists for availability and pricing before they disappear faster than Medoo’s dignity.

What is NetherWorld?

Meet Medoo, the world’s saddest jellyfish. After being unceremoniously dumped by his wife, he drowns his sorrows in vodka, only to wake up in a surreal, sleazy nightmare filled with degenerates, perverts, and psychopaths. His only way forward? Navigating the madness, making questionable choices, and maybe, just maybe, piecing together his broken life (or at least scoring a cool hat along the way).

NetherWorld Features:

A Twisted Story – Meet a cast of totally respectable citizens, including coke-fueled mages, entrepreneurial prostitutes, sadistic mobsters, and sociopathic kids who’d make a demon blush. Will they help Medoo? Probably not.

Insane Minigames – Get wasted in drinking competitions, dabble in ‘ahem’ extracurricular activities, blast enemies to pieces, or guide a bionic tick named Joe through underground roguelike dungeons. Just another Tuesday.

Bonkers Boss Fights – Face down grotesque, nightmarish foes using whatever weapons (or poor life choices) you have at your disposal. Feeling brave? Try fighting unarmed, we dare you.

Get Your Hands on the Physical Edition!

Watch the physical announcement trailer for NetherWorld below.

NetherWorld Features:

• A Twisted Story – Stumble through a world of coke-fueled mages, entrepreneurial prostitutes, deranged mobsters, sociopathic kids, and sleazy old perverts, all of whom claim they can help you put your shattered life back together. (Spoiler: they absolutely won’t.)
• Insane Minigames – Need cash or questionable rewards? Test your skills in drunken brawls, reckless flings, trigger-happy shootouts, and even piloting a bionic tick named Joe through grimy roguelike dungeons. Bonus: Complete certain quests and unlock stylish hats, masks, weapons, and more!
• Bonkers Boss Fights – Time to throw down! Face grotesque, nightmarish bosses with an arsenal of guns, melee weapons, and environmental hazards—or if you’re feeling especially masochistic, go in completely unarmed. (Good luck with that.)
