- War Thunder, released over a decade ago, is continuing to evolve as its fandom is growing.
- We recently interviewed its producer, who revealed that the game will never receive a sequel.
- He said that it does not make sense to make the players download War Thunder 2 and make them drop all the existing items they have collected.
War Thunder was released in 2013 and is still going strong due to its unique vehicular combat approach. The game has a mostly positive rating on Steam, so the majority enjoy it.
However, fans might have wondered whether the game would receive a reboot or a sequel like Overwatch 2. We recently interviewed the game’s producer, who revealed that the title will not receive a sequel.
Why it matters: Live Service titles can work for years with regular updates, so fans can go on without being bored and longing for sequels.
In an interview with Tech4Gamers, the producer of War Thunder, Vyacheslav Bulannikov, revealed that there is no sense in dropping a sequel for a live service game that is already working so well, which totally makes sense.
There is no sense in dropping the existing user base with all the in-game they unlocked and making the players download War Thunder 2 and start from scratch.

Bulannikov then further revealed that the title will continue to evolve, and they plan to follow this approach as long as the players are with them. Given that it has been over a decade since the famous vehicular combat title was released the fandom is still enjoying it.
So, the producer’s comments make total sense and seem pretty reasonable. This shows that there isn’t going to be a sequel to War Thunder, but the developer is committed to evolving the game for its fans.
That said, what do you think about War Thunder never receiving a sequel? Do you think sequels for live service titles should be released? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below, or join the discussion at the official Tech4Gamers forums.
