'World of Tanks: Mercenaries' (ALL) Celebrates 6th Anniversary With 20 Million Players, Events

by Rainier on Feb. 12, 2020 @ 12:04 p.m. PST

In World of Tanks Modern Armor player teams are fighting action-packed PvP battles, featuring more than 150 armored fighting vehicles from the pre-WW2 era up to the Korean War.

World of Tanks: Mercenaries is World of Tanks’ largest and most encompassing expansion of single- and multiplayer content for the beloved armor-themed World War II massively multiplayer online game.

World of Tanks: Mercenaries plunges players into a terrifying new reality, where history has been rewritten and law and order ceases to exist. Endless wars have left the world fractured, and in the vacuum of power left by the destabilization of global powers, soldiers and civilians now fight for themselves. World of Tanks: Mercenaries invites players across the globe to join the fight; anyone can be a hero in the age of Mercenaries.

World of Tanks: Mercenaries introduces a brand new Mercenaries “nation” and a full tech tree of never-before-seen combat vehicles, giving players access to a fascinating armada of powerful tanks, helmed by unique Mercenary crews. The new suite of tanks in World of Tanks: Mercenaries are comprised of parts scavenged from vehicles from different nations, becoming original war machines tailored to the traits and needs of the new Mercenary characters. Five vehicles will be available at launch, and as their notoriety across the world’s changed landscape grows, so too will the Mercenary nation.


Six years ago today, World of Tanks made its console debut on Xbox 360, creating the international multiplayer spectacular so many know and play today. Six years on, World of Tanks: Mercenaries is now available on PS4, Xbox One, and the Xbox 360 – and remains one of the most popular free-to-play console games worldwide and one of the longest running MMOs on console. Having quadrupled its numbers in tanks, nations and maps, Wargaming is celebrating with a proud global family of more than 20 million commanders!

To celebrate these milestones, as well as the 6th Anniversary, an abundance of mega specials, updates, discounts, and even an exclusive gift tank are waiting!

From February 12th-21st, commanders will have the chance to claim a free Xbox ONE X customized by the development team during a mega giveaway on our social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, VK)!

Besides the load of in-game content, from bundles to various specials and discounts, multiplayer commanders will be able to take ownership and go to combat with the Ironclad T-29 after playing just one game! This event exclusive tank is a special gift from the development team at Wargaming West in Chicago for over 20 million commanders who have supported and played World of Tanks: Mercenaries since its launch six years ago.

The Ironclad-T29 is a Tier III Medium with a deadly high damage gun. Not to mention its good mobility and weight, making it quite the rammer on the battlefield. Furthermore, every tanker can enjoy the dedicated Anniversary decorated garage for the next few weeks.

In addition, the most skilled commanders can anticipate a battle unlike any before - Clan Wars is back - and better than ever. This epic challenge will take the strongest Mercenaries Clans and bring them together to battle it out against each other for mega prizes of earned gold and higher rankings.

As another special gift, all players will get special Valentine’s Day Ops to treat their crew to something nice, as well as the new edition of Warchests that comes with a 6% Anniversary bonus - increasing each players chances of scoring big.

Wargaming’s CEO Victor Kislyi commemorates six great years of World of Tanks on Console with a special message together with the faces behind the World of Tanks phenomenon in a special birthday video for all players, to celebrate the ongoing success of World of Tanks: Mercenaries.


Players can immerse themselves in the alternative history setting of World of Tanks: Mercenaries by taking on the riveting new PvE story campaign, The Heist. This action-packed tale of espionage follows a motley crew of Mercenaries contracted to set up, execute and escape from a raid on a secret war facility. Their mission is to steal nuclear material for a client who harbors his own atomic ambitions, but the crew soon finds itself at the mercy of the combined powers of the United States and the Soviet Union. Players can expect adrenaline-fueled tank battles as they tackle this story alone – like a true Mercenary – or band together with friends for co-operative online multiplayer action!

In addition to the new story campaign, the Mercenaries has a far-reaching impact across the entire game, with the addition of new maps to Multiplayer battles. Players can expect to explore and fight through an array of fan-favorite maps ravaged by war and time, with original Mercenary vehicles available to battle with or against the game’s existing roster of over 680 vehicles.

Expect more electrifying Mercenaries content in the future, with frequent post-release updates.

World of Tanks: Mercenaries is available for Xbox 360, Xbox One and PS4.
