Wargaming.net apparently takes this whole multiple and conquer thing seriously. The company has just opened its 15th, yes 15th, global office this time in Tokyo. No word on when they start para-dropping from the skies Red Dawn style but we suggest Activision and EA beef up their anti-air armaments atop their buildings just to be sure. The Tokyo arm of Wargaming.net will focus on publishing duties like marketing, public relations, customer service and customer support as titles like World of Tanks rolls across Japan. Congratulations to Wargaming.net as this also marks their 15 year anniversary. Seems only like yesterday we where hearing about this crazy free game where you were just a tank that fought other tanks.
