[h2]Cross-Product Bundles at Bargain Prices[/h2]

A cross-product bundle includes content for several Wargaming games at once, and it’s a great way to start your exploration of our projects or expand your existing collection if you are an experienced Wargamer already.

Out of the four mentioned bundles, the following three have World of Tanks content in them:

Get a bunch of items for four Wargaming titles at once at a whopping 95% discount! Purchasing this bundle will let you park the mighty Tier V British Excelsior heavy tank in your World of Tanks Garage. You will also receive an additional three days of WoT Premium Account, a set of equipment, and a 2D style to make your Excelsior battle ready immediately! Apart from that, you will get a bunch of content for World of Warships, World of Tanks Blitz, and World of Warplanes. Click the link above to learn all the details!

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/30279/Steel_Companions_Bundle/

If heated battles on land are not enough, it’s time to explore the seas, as well! This bundle has both World of Tanks and World of Warships content—perfect for getting to know another popular Wargaming project or expanding your collection if you are a captain already!

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/30280/Brothers_in_Arms_Bundle/

How can one describe World of Tanks Blitz? Vivid, spectacular... crazy? Well, you can find your own words as this bundle includes both World of Tanks and World of Tanks Blitz content. A great way to try out a new game—or a great bargain if you already play both!

Keep in mind that all the aforementioned bundles are time-limited offers—they will no longer be available for purchase after February 23 at 17:00 UTC. Jump on this chance!

[h2]Steam Powered: A Steam-Exclusive 2D Style[/h2]

Get ready to steamroller your opponents with style! The Steam Powered style has been designed and developed specifically for World of Tanks Steam players to stand out on the battlefield. Currently, you can obtain this style only if you play World of Tanks on Steam, which makes it an exclusive piece of customization and great a way to show your fellow tankers that you are a part of the amazing Steam Community.

The Steam Powered style was inspired by Wargaming’s brand colors. It transforms your vehicle into a captivating display of red, gray, and white streams on a black background as if it's been enveloped by a mesmerizing dance of colorful smoke—or steam!

[/expand]
You can get your hands on this beautiful and unique piece of customization in the following ways:

1. By purchasing the Steam-Roller Pack DLC at a 40% discount. Along with the 2D style, you will receive three days of WoT Premium Account to up your game. Click the link below for more information!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2274930/World_of_Tanks__SteamRoller_Pack/
2. By purchasing the event bundles in the in-game Store (more on that below)

[h2]Publisher Weekend Giveaway[/h2]

There can never be too many freebies! To celebrate the start of Wargaming Publisher Weekend, we are launching a special Community Giveaway with a guaranteed reward. To participate in the Giveaway, you need to like this article and leave a comment—and that’s it! Everyone who completes these simple steps will get a cool Steam-themed decal to decorate their favorite vehicle.

Check out the article below for more details.

[h2]In-Game Missions With Useful Rewards[/h2]

From February 16, 2023, through February 20, 2023, you can complete a number of special missions and receive a bunch of rewards, including the unique Steam Powered 2D style that we mentioned before!

To get the 2D style, you just need to earn 14,000 points of Base XP in total over any number of Random or Grand Battles while playing in Tier IV or higher vehicles. Every WoT Steam player can complete the mission once and receive one Steam Powered style completely for free!

Apart from the spectacular style, for finishing other missions, you can get three days of Wargaming Premium Account, a post-battle ×2 boost to your Combat XP, and a Personal Reserve for +200% to Crew and Free XP for 1 hour.

NOTE: Wargaming Premium Account is not the same as WoT Premium Account. Wargaming Premium Account works in three games at once (World of Tanks, World of Warships, and World of Warplanes), but it gives the following bonuses only:
  • 50% more XP per battle
  • 50% more Crew XP per battle
  • 50% more credits per battle
Wargaming Premium Account is a great way to check out our other games while having a nice bonus to your post-battle XP and credit earnings.

Keep in mind that two Premium Accounts can be active at the same time, but you will only get the bonuses from the one that is more profitable.

Click the expand button below for a more detailed explanation.

[expand]
For example, if you have one day of WoT Premium Account and three days of Wargaming Premium Account and you play World of Tanks, then for one day, you will get all the benefits of WoT Premium Account (i.e., increased Crew and Combat XP, increased credits earnings, a Platoon bonus, one more slot for excluded maps, etc.).

When WoT Premium Account runs out, you will still have two more days of Wargaming Premium Account, and you will continue to get bonuses like increased Crew and Combat XP and increased credits per battle (but no more WoT-special bonuses, such as the Reserve Stock or an extra slot for excluded maps).
[/expand]

To find the missions in the game, go to the MISSIONS” tab in your Garage and scroll down to the Publisher Weekend section.

[h2]Bundles in the In-Game Store[/h2]

During Wargaming Publisher Weekend, the in-game Store will have a selection of event-themed offers available to all Steam players. Two of these offers will include the new Steam Powered style (among other items), while the third offer contains some ×5 XP missions and a bunch of Personal Reserves to boost your progress.

You can find these offers in the Featured section of the in-game Store.

[h2]Have Fun and Enjoy the Event![/h2]

Wargaming Publisher Weekend is the perfect opportunity to become more familiar with our universe. Enjoy the free DLC, get the new exclusive style, treat yourselves to some great deals, and make sure to check out other Wargaming projects—they have prepared lots of surprises for you, as well!

We are honored to be a part of your gaming journey, Commanders.

Full Steam ahead!

Bring the Hammer Down: The Auction Returns!



Commanders,

The auction is returning with five exceptional lots. Each lot will be available for one day only, running from February 15 through February 19, and is not to be missed: In every lot, you’ll find a powerful high-tier vehicle with a unique playstyle and a significant collector value. Expect both brand-new tanks as well as classics, with some based on myths and legends from around the world!

[h2]The Auction[/h2]
February 15 through February 19

EU: Bids accepted from 10:00 CET through 23:00 CET (UTC+1)
NA: Bids accepted from 05:00 PST through 18:00 PST (UTC−8)
ASIA: Bids accepted from 10:00 through 23:00 (UTC+8)

Every lot will be put on an open auction, meaning that, at any moment while it‘s active, you will see the number of bids made and (once the number of bids exceeds the number of items available) the competitive bid. Each lot will have a single designated in-game currency—gold, credits, or Free XP—in which your bids will be accepted.

Watch the video below for more details and some more hints about the lots!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]Accessing the Auction[/h2]

You can enter the auction via the special page in the in-game Store. Make sure to visit it (at least) daily while the auction is active!



[h2]Auction Mechanics[/h2]

1. Once you’re on the auction screen, you can bid what you’re willing to pay for the lot. This amount will automatically be deducted from your account.

If the cost of a lot is specified in gold, the use of credits or Free XP will not be possible, and vice versa.

2. If you decide to change or cancel your bid, you are free to do so while the lot is active. After that, bids cannot be modified or canceled, and no new bids will be accepted. If you cancel a bid, the spent amount of gold, credits, or Free XP will be returned to your account. Bids will be returned, and lots will be credited to the auction winners within four hours after the deadline for accepting bids.

3. The number of winning players will depend on the number of items available. If multiple players make the lowest winning bid and there are more of these players than items to be distributed, the players who made the bids earliest will be awarded the item.

Example: If 700 auction participants made identical lowest winning bids, and if there are only 500 items to be distributed, the 500 earliest bids will win.

4. This time, every lot will be sold at an open auction. This means that in addition to the lot’s contents, the number of available items, the minimum bid, and the deadline for accepting new bids, you will see the number of bids that have already been made and the competitive (median) bid (after the number of bids has exceeded the number of available items).

5. The winners will receive their goods. The remaining auction participants receive their bids back in full.

6. Items won in the auction are non-refundable.

Keep your eyes (and your in-game coffers) open for a chance to obtain very rare and valuable vehicles, Commanders!
