Wargaming and World of Tanks Blitz, the cross-platform, free-to-play, action tank game, are partnering with deadmau5 for a groundbreaking holiday dance party. Known for his iconic music and unique style, deadmau5 is not only one of the most influential electronic music artists, but also a passionate gamer, making this a perfect match. The collaboration kicks off today with the release of an exclusive video featuring a new deadmau5 high-energy track “Familiars” (also available on DSPs November 29), created to supercharge the holiday experience.
In the trailer, deadmau5 escapes from his on-set reality, transforming into his iconic mau5headpersona to take command of his controller tank. He embarks on a vibrant journey through the city, turning a dull urban landscape into a pulsating, colorful holiday metropolis.
“World of Tanks Blitz has always been wild, rebellious and fearless,” said Thaine Lyman, General Manager at MS-1 Studio, Wargaming. “This holiday, we’re shaking things up and giving our players a fresh twist on the season’s festivities. deadmau5 brings his electrifying style and injects a whole new vibe into World of Tanks Blitz.”
