World of Tanks is getting its first console-exclusive expansion today in the form of World of Tanks: Mercenaries. This add-on introduces players to a new time period in an alternate timeline wherein the rules and boundaries of the old world no longer apply. Players jumping into the game will do so through "The Heist," a piece of story content starring a crew of mercenaries as they attempt to raid a nuclear facility for an unknown client. Their opposition: the combined might of the US and the USSR. It'll take quite the crew to pull this one off.

Just like the base version of World of Tanks, World of Tanks: Mercenaries is free to play and is available for download right now. Check out our World of Tanks review to see if it's something worth jumping into.
