World of Tanks, the team-based, multiplayer online action game (exclusively dedicated to tank warfare), has broken new ground with the announcement of a new crossover. Unlike other war-based multiplayer games, this one is not only historically accurate but also works in-universe. Beginning October 2nd, World of Tanks players will be able to help the Resistance by stepping into our favourite Nazi-killing badass boots, William J. Blazkowicz, of Wolfenstein fame.
Straight from Wargaming:
The Zwilling, seized from Regime forces and repurposed by Blazkowicz and his allies, is the first German Tier VIII heavy tank to feature a double-barreled gun. Combining quick aim, durable armor, and swift maneuverability, the Zwilling wields twin cannons capable of unleashing brutal salvos or targeted single shots. Adorned with the “Götterfaust” 3D style, the tank embodies brutalist and industrial design, combining angular shapes, streamlined stamped armor plates, and Wolfenstein visual motifs – from drone hulls to trophies like the Panzerhund head and the Zitadelle. All these details transform it into a vengeful symbol of the Resistance.
Five authentic Wolfenstein characters, each fully voiced by their original actors, will join the battlefield. Through Chapter Progression, players can recruit the legendary William J. Blazkowicz alongside his nemesis, scientist Wilhelm “Deathshead” Strasse, both available with zero perks. Additional in-game bundles grant access to Resistance heroines Anya Oliwa and Caroline Becker, as well as the menacing Frau Engel – each with three perks and unique voiceovers.
Upon completing all 40 stages of the Base Rewards Track, Commanders will earn an arsenal of Wolfenstein-themed items, including exclusive decals, inscriptions, a 2D style, and William J. Blazkowicz himself as a tank commander. Wilhelm “Deathshead” Strasse is also available through the Base Progression, ready to join tankers’ ranks.
Players looking for the full Wolfenstein experience can grab themed bundles and take on special combat missions, unlocking even more rewards that reflect the series’ dark yet unyielding spirit.
With the event only running from October 2nd to October 13th, you don’t have long to jump in and experience one of the most authentic crossovers in the franchise’s history. Plus, consider it the closest to a new Wolfenstein experience as possible, at least for now.
