World of Tanks Developer Buys Console-Focused Studio

Wargaming.net has purchased the console-focused Day 1 Studios, leading to speculation it could bring some of its titles to platforms other than the PC.

The company, best known for its runaway hit World of Tanks, bought the F.E.A.R. 3 developer for $20 million to work "exclusively on the development of an unannounced console title".

"The move into console game development is a huge step for Wargaming, as we begin to expand our presence into new platforms," Wargaming CEO Victor Kislyi said. "We are looking forward to sharing the fruits of our labour soon."

Given that the title recently reported over 45 million players had registered and one server in Russia had 500,000 concurrent players last October, we're sure there are some people out there excited by the news, but are you one of them? Let us know in the comments below.

Luke Karmali is IGN's UK Editorial Assistant and is trying to wean himself off games with the "World of" prefix. You too can revel in mediocrity by following him on IGN and on Twitter.
