Wargaming revealed today that a new three-part story expansion titled 'Spoils of War' will be available for free today for World of Tanks on Xbox 360, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

　　Over 14 million players in the world enjoy World of Tanks on consoles, according to the press release. They have participated in over 90 million tank battles, where over 44 billion shells have been fired and more than 4 billion tanks have been destroyed. The console version has received the exclusive War Stories content (currently unavailable on PC), which now amounts to over fifteen hours of free singleplayer and coop tank warfare in historical and alternate history settings.

　　Spoils of War is set in an alternate version of history where World War II never truly end. It will be divided as follows:

　　Chapter #1 - “Sieben Ritter”: a small town on the German-Polish border hopes to survive in

　　the crossfire for long enough to surrender to the Allies, but an incoming Soviet force may

　　extinguish any remaining hope. Will Captain Karl Staupe and his Sieben Ritter refuse to

　　answer the call to make a final stand in Berlin, and instead stay and fight to save the

　　otherwise doomed town? This chapter takes inspiration from the legendary 1952 Japanese

　　film Seven Samurai, which sees a band of rōnin — a samurai without a lord or master — fend

　　off a gang of bandits that seek to ravish a defenseless farming town.

　　Chapter #2 - “The Connoisser”: Sergeant Frank Martinez is tasked by the Allies with

　　destroying a cache of stolen art and priceless treasures. However, a band of German soldiers

　　has also set their sights on the treasure and taken it for themselves. Sergeant Martinez gives

　　chase, but can he succeed in recovering some of the world’s most sought-after treasures

　　before they’re lost to the pages of history? “Kunstschutz” was the German practice of

　　preserving art during times of conflict. The Allies saw this as looting. Not surprisingly, this

　　was a major point of contention during and after the war.

　　Final Chapter - “Potemkin”: The thrilling third act of the Spoils of War trilogy is set in a town

　　on the German front lines, where a Soviet artillery commander has been selling food on the

　　black market to keep his people from starving. The soviet high command has discovered the

　　dealings and scrambled an armored NKVD unit to restore order and bring justice. Captain

　　Anatoly Petrov, risking capture and punishment for defying his superiors, decides to rebel against Soviet high command and fight back. This chapter takes its name from the 1925

　　silent film Battleship Potemkin, which tells the story of the rebellious crew of a Russian

　　battleship.
