War Thunder Getting New Engine and Coming to Next-Gen Consoles

Game company Gaijin Entertainment has announced that the military online action video game War Thunder will be getting a major content update soon.

A new content update will be released soon called the New Power and the native next-gen consoles versions will be released in mid-November. This new update will bring a new version of the Dagon Engine, big ships navy and a lot of other surprises.
