The big day has arrived! After months of excitement, we are pleased to announce that World of Warplanes has now been released!
The game features 5 nations (USA, USSR, Germany, Great Britain and Japan) and over 100 different warplanes, with many more to come in future updates. Fly iconic aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire and the Messerschmitt Bf. 109 across a wide variety of landscapes.
The release of World of Warplanes also marks the introduction of the Unified Premium Account. This means that if you purchase premium account time in World of Warplanes, it will also be valid in World of Tanks, and vice versa.
We are celebrating the release with a special contest. Can you be the First to the Top? Race up to Tier X and you could win some amazing prizes, including a whole ten years of premium account time!
Did you take part in the Open Beta Test? Don’t forget that everything has been wiped in preparation for the game's release. Some bonuses will be carried over, such as victory marks and the exclusive aircraft from the Open Beta. Find out exactly what was carried over in our guide.

*If you had game gold in your World of Tanks account and it does not appear in the World of Warplanes hangar after the version 1.0.0 update release, you should log in to your World of Tanks account and then log back in to World of Warplanes. This will synchronise the data for the Unified Premium Account and the correct amount of gold will be displayed correctly in both games.
Take to the skies, Pilots!
