A new EAS Cherenkov light array Tunka-133 with about 1 km2 geometric area has been installed in the Tunka Valley (50 km from Lake Baikal). The array will allow a detailed study of the cosmic ray energy spectrum and mass composition in the energy range of 10^15 - 10^18 eV. This energy range is of crucial importance for understanding of the origin and propagation of cosmic rays in the Galaxy. The completed Tunka-133 array has been taking data since October 2009. We give an overview on the array construction and DAQ, preliminary results from data collected during the first winter run and plans for a significant detector upgrade, including an increase of the effective area and the deployment of radio-antennas and muon detectors.
