Brad Pitt’s Fury blasts onto World of Tanks today as premium paid content

There’s a new arrival on the World of Tanks battlefield, and it’s a bit of a celebrity.

Fury, the Sherman Tank which stars alongside Brad Pitt in the World War II film of the same name, arrives as a premium purchase in free-to-play tank-combat sensation World of Tanks today. It’s an interesting collaboration between Hollywood and the world of video games, coming from a different angle than the normal movie game tie-ins we’ve long come to expect (and often dread). It’s also a potential money-maker for both parties, given that World of Tanks’ 90 million players spent an average of $4.51 on the game over the 12 months to March this year.
