About
Wargaming was founded in 1998 by Victor Kislyi, who still leads it, and has been headquartered in Nicosia, Cyprus, since 2011. In 2022 it left Russia and Belarus and closed its studios there.
It develops and publishes free-to-play online games, best known for World of Tanks (2010), World of Warships, World of Tanks Blitz for mobile and World of Warplanes. In 2012 it bought BigWorld, whose MMO server technology its games run on.
Wargaming lists 15 locations: studios and publishing teams in Kyiv, Prague, Vilnius, Warsaw, Belgrade, Berlin, Paris, Guildford, Chicago, Austin, Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore and Shanghai, besides the Nicosia head office. Its games are built on in-house engines in C++, with Python on the server side.
