Developer Wargaming has announced the release date for the retail edition of the Xbox 360 version of World of Tanks, its free-to-play massively multiplayer online vehicular combat game.

The retail edition of the phenomenally popular military MMO game will be launched in North and South America on August 12, in Asia and other Pacific regions on August 14, and in Europe on August 29.

The bundle will include numerous items designed to enhance the free-to-play experience offered by World Of Tanks, and all Xbox Live account holders will be able to take part in a free seven-day trial.

The Combat Ready Starter Pack goes for £16/$20/€20, and contains the premium Panzer 38H Tier II German light tank, that is currently available through the retail package for a limited time only, three days of premium account time, granting a 50 percent bonus to Silver and experience gains, as well as 1,500 in-game Gold and 200,00 in-game Silver.

The retail bundle also includes a 30-day voucher code for Xbox Live Gold.

The Xbox Live Arcade edition of World of Tanks was released in February this year, and Wargaming also released a mobile version of the military vehicle warfare simulator, titled World of Tanks Blitz, in May 2014.
