Wargaming Public Co Ltd is an international game developer and publisher headquartered in Nicosia, Cyprus.[1] Although its original Belarusian studio in Minsk remains an important hub and has been described as the heart of Wargaming,[2] the company operates across 16 offices and development centres. Primarily focused on TBS and RTS games, Wargaming switched to developing free-to-play online action games in 2009, and has since become one of the leaders in the market. The company's critical and commercial success came after the launch of its first online project, the military-themed team-based game World of Tanks. Wargaming is now working on several follow-ups.
