'World of Tanks 2' Release Date, Update: Sequel Not Happening
A sequel to the hit massively multiplayer online game "World of Tanks" is not happening.
This is what Wargaming regional publishing director Alex de Giorgio revealed to GameSpot during the Pax Australia event, replying with a solid "no" when asked about the possibility of a release of "World of Tanks 2."
The developer treats the current one as a games-as-a-service title, which they intend to just expand with updates and new content. He explained:

It's this constant evolution; that's been the hallmark of the game.
In this light, de Giorgio said that a sequel "doesn't really make sense" to Wargaming. Instead, players of "World of Tanks" can just count on the game getting new content to keep the title fresh and offer new gameplay experience.
Speaking of which, there is a Halloween event being held on "World of Tanks." Leviathan, ruler of the armored afterlife, has stormed into the Gate between this world and the land of fallen tanks.
Players are tasked to take on his army and makes sure they stop them at their tracks before they can wreak havoc. As detailed on Wargaming's blog:
Led by an insatiable hunger for power, Leviathan and its evil minions are launching an unending attack on the Great Gate between worlds. Many guardians have fallen, but their brave squads keep protecting the final barrier on Dark Crucible. As their ranks shrink, Leviathan's army only grows stronger, pushing the guardians to retreat.
Your mission is stopping Leviathan's attack and expelling its troops from the Gate. With every new battle, Leviathan devises a smarter plan. You never know where its army will spawn as they take a new route toward the Gate with every attack.
This "World of Tanks" event will take place on the Dark Crucible map and will add the multi-turreted tanks Franken and Stein as vehicles. The Halloween event will run up to Nov. 9.
