During the opening day of Gamescom 2025, Wargaming took to the airwaves to announce a new standalone product set in the World of Tanks universe. World of Tanks: HEAT is a new game that puts players in an alternate WW2 setting where shooter mechanics are fused with “signature tank combat.” This is a free-to-play tactical vehicle shooter putting players in command of “hero-enhanced tanks” during 10v10 sessions.
A new game trailer puts all the fancy words into perspective with a rousing look at how the action will play out. Between cinematic shots and in-game footage, viewers will get a decent perspective on what HEAT is all about.
World of Tanks: HEAT features –
- Heroic Tank Gameplay – Specialized tanks with unique roles and hero-enhanced abilities. Agents add tactical depth with combat skills and support powers.
- Build The Ultimate Tank – All tanks are inspired by original designs, with a creative reinterpretation of post-WWII vehicles. By blending real-world tanks and technologies from that era, players can craft truly unique machines. Each tank can be personalized with advanced weapons systems, armor modules, visual mods, and battlefield-altering abilities.
- Variety of Game Modes – The game adapts and transforms classic shooter modes (Kill Сonfirmed, Domination, Conquest) into a new and exciting tank experience.
- Visual Excellence – Powered by Wargaming’s new proprietary engine with stunning graphics, immersive environments, and dynamic cinematic effects.
- Сross-Platform / Cross-Progression – Wargaming’s first-ever simultaneous, cross-platform launch, allowing players to join the action seamlessly across PC (Wargaming Game Center and Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam Deck.
- Free-to-Win – Designed to foster long-term engagement where success is driven by skill. Monetization focuses on cosmetics, battle passes, and time-savers.
At this time, there is no information about a possible release window, so be sure to keep an eye on the World of Tanks: HEAT official page to learn more.
