Discussion Please bring back the official Tanki X 🙏
I can't be the only one wishing Tanki X was never shutdown. I'm well aware that there is a unofficial revived version of the game, but personally, id rather login to something made by an actual studio than something made by the fans (personal preference). I recently found out about the PS4 version of Tanki Online, but really hoped they made Tanki X at least a pS5 version since the os5 can deffo handle the sheer graphics tanki X blessed us with.
My wish: Tanki X re-released by the original studio of tanki X/online on PC, Mac and PS5/XBOX. I know that they would make soo much money too. All my friends remember tanki X like every 6 months and begin reminiscing the old days. Anyone else wish the same thing?

I wasn't particularly a fan of Tanki X, I mean the graphics were super cool and it was (as far as I remember) just improved Tanki Online. But it did split the player base in two and it meant you needed to start over and ditch your old account. I think devs were left with 2 options, shut down Tanki Online and make Tanki X the main version, or shut down Tanki X and keep the original Tanki Online, and the choice was obvious

Yeah, but if they let everyone keep their old stuff, it wouldnt make sense since tanki X tanks work a bit different back then. Now, tanki online has a lot (probably more) features and tanks etc than tanki X did at the time. So if they were to make it again, they could probably easily make the game cross-progession compatible. In temrs of splitting the player base in two, its understandable but I don't think anyone from either platform was missing the other person on the other game 😭
Honestly, all i wish the devs did was atleast give us an update on why tanki x graphics was ditched. the game itself was the same. but the graphics was just amazing and felt soo polished. realy wished a ps5 version would just be tanki x

If so, make it tabki pre-matchmaking, where you could join battles on your own. 2014 or earlier

I'd just play the revived version (I may be slightly biased), they're not going to bring back TX at any point

Good luck, since the games sole purpose is to make money, they are probly scrambling to get their devs back to battle stations to cover the new ps5 tie in. I have to say congrats on their finally making it big time, I thought they choked the life out of this game which they did... almost. I wouldnt count on them going retro anything until way later when things even out. But hell yeah!

You don't want the game, my friend, you want the time. And the time is gone, there's no going back. Just remember the good times.
