'World of Tanks Blitz' Teams Up With Mad Max Artist For Halloween Event

World of Tanks Blitz is a free-to-play team-based MMO action game dedicated to fierce tank combat.

Drawing inspiration from World of Tanks, it introduces cross-platform tank combat for a variety of smartphones and tablets. With a roster of over 190 iconic armored vehicles, stunning graphics, intuitive touch-screen controls for tablets and phones, World of Tanks Blitz makes it easy to jump into short, action-packed 7vs7 tank battles no matter where you are.

The unified Wargaming.net ID allow switching between platforms and devices while retaining in-game progress, while cross-platform support lets World of Tanks Blitz community play together on a single server.

Designed to take advantage of cross-device gameplay functionality, this new version of the smash hit mobile game will bring 7-vs-7 tank combat to Windows 10 mobile devices, tablets and PCs.

A variety of in-game interfaces and elements will also be reworked in World of Tanks Blitz on Windows 10 to ensure a true cross-play experience. Along with intuitive touch-screen controls for tablets and phones, World of Tanks Blitz is set to feature keyboard and mouse support for PC.


World of Tanks Blitz is happy to present Mad Games, a limited-time Halloween event, created in collaboration with Mad Max: Fury Road’s Principle Vehicle Designer and Concept Artist Peter Pound.

Pound has created two new tanks which will only be unlockable for the duration of the event - the Tier V Scavenger and the Tier VII Gravedigger. In order to obtain the Scavenger tank, players need to earn 50 victories in battle, while the Gravedigger will require them to complete a set of battle missions. These two tanks are part of the Artists’ Signature Series that began with legendary Gundam designer Kunio Okawara’s tank, the O-47.

“Working together with the World of Tanks Blitz team, I was able to create some unique designs and given creative freedom,” said Pound. “With Mad Max: Fury Road, I was focused on car designs but the challenge here was taking tanks and making them even more heavy metal! I enjoy a challenge and it was a cool experience. Now I hope everyone enjoys the hard work put into these steel beasts.”

Alongside these two unlockable powerhouses, Mad Games will feature an exclusive game mode in a brand new post-apocalyptic map. This mode will bring sandstorms to World of Tanks Blitz for the very first time alongside other powerful abilities like invisibility, shields and armor restoring - adding some ghoulish new abilities in honor of Halloween.

To set the mood for this year’s festivities, World of Tanks Blitz created a post-apocalyptic garage, added holiday flair to maps and even added some unique tank customization options that are sure to spook even the most battle-hardened veterans. Famous tanks from past Halloween events, including 2015’s Tankenstein and 2016’s Dracula and Helsing, will also be available during Mad Games.

Players can take part in Mad Games exclusively from October 17 - November 12. They won’t want to miss it!

World of Tanks Blitz offers a roster of over 190 iconic vehicles from Germany, Great Britain, the United States, and the USSR that are divided into 4 different classes: light tanks, medium tanks, heavy tanks, and tank destroyers. Each class has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, giving a unique playing style to every model. Combined with a variety of battle arenas featuring rapid, action-packed, PvP combat, World of Tanks Blitz allows aspiring tankers to master their tactical skills, learn to take fast and calculated decisions on the battlefield, and team up in platoons with friends all across the world.

World of Tanks Blitz is optimized for a variety of Windows 10 devices, enabling players to fight together on the same servers regardless of the platform — iOS, Android or Windows 10. Windows 10 PC players will have a separate matchmaking queue from mobile gamers, ensuring they have an equal chance of victory.
