Maps

You asked—we delivered! For Blitz’s birthday, we’re bringing back some beloved maps: Lost Temple, Mirage, and Malinovka! Old favorites return, unchanged and unforgettable—just the way we loved them back then ❤️‍🔥



New Minimap Design

In battle, quick situational awareness is key—even experienced tankers rely on the Minimap. We’ve updated its design to make it more realistic and easier to read in the heat of battle.

Balance Changes

We've rebalanced 12 Tier VIII–IX vehicles based on your feedback. Some got stronger armor; others now reload faster. Find all the details on our website.

Operation "Echo Trace" in World of Tanks Blitz

What makes a good scout? It's the ability to quickly detect the enemy and vanish before they can lock onto you! And, of course, the ability to relay intel to your allies, so there's no one left to target you in the first place.

Show your intelligence skills in a new Operation! Fight to claim avatars, war paints, and the A-Signaler Legendary camo for the T-54 ltwt.!



[h2]How to Get Rewards[/h2]

You'll need a Tier III or higher vehicle to participate.

The Operation includes two reward progression paths, each consisting of 60 levels. The first progression path is available to all regular Pass holders—that means everyone! The second progression path offers more rewards and is only available to Premium Pass holders. To earn rewards, you'll need to increase your Pass level by completing the Operation missions.

Although your Pass Level will increase automatically, you'll need to collect your rewards manually.

[h2]What Are the Rewards?[/h2]

There will be tons of resources, a Collector tank, themed warpaints and avatars, a profile background, certificates that provide XP bonuses for victories, and a Legendary camo for a researchable Tier VIII vehicle!

Warhammer Skulls 2025

From May 22–29, don't miss the Warhammer Skulls 2025 sale! This is your chance to bring the fierce, dark atmosphere of the Warhammer 40,000 universe to World of Tanks Blitz!

[h2]Free DLC[/h2]
