War Thunder Infantry gets a new trailer and test event

War Thunder Infantry is getting closer to release, and there's a new trailer to show it off along with a new closed testing period. Have to admit my excitement for this, to have a popular online game like this add infantry combat with Linux support too.

They're testing out Domination modes for 64 vs 64 and 20 vs 20 battles. And while originally the plan was to have you control a squad with bots, this newer test brings solo players together to form squads which sounds like a lot of fun too.

No word yet on when the public release will arrive. But it should be a major update to the base game of War Thunder. Slowly turning it into a fair bit more like the Battlefield series which blocks Linux / SteamOS. It's also seriously great to see the Linux logo in the trailer too.

Really can't wait to see what actually happens with this. Are you as excited as I am? More info on all of it and how to apply in their Steam announcement.

Release Date: 15th August 2013
Platform: 🐧 Native Linux
Official links:SteamOfficial Website

I am very excited for this as well. I applied for the closed beta some time ago but haven't been accepted yet. Maybe because I am not that active in War Thunder in general

I am an active WT player - also no closed beta invite.

It seems to be influencers first
