Wargaming today announced that World of Tanks: HEAT, its new standalone free-to-play tactical vehicle shooter, will enter closed beta from April 16 through April 20 across PC (Steam and Wargaming Game Center), Steam Deck, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nvidia GeForce NOW.
Set in an alternate post WWII era, HEAT reimagines armored combat, bringing the franchise’s signature gameplay to more dynamic and fast-paced battlefields. Players step into the role of elite Agents with unique, game-changing abilities and pilot a roster of experimental vehicles. Each tank brings its own tactical strengths, enhanced by deep customization with advanced weapon systems, armor modules, and visual upgrades.
During the closed beta, players will be able to explore a diverse lineup of tanks and Agents, supporting different playstyles across three distinct roles: Defender, Assault, and Marksman. The beta will feature four PvP modes across eight maps:
- Hardpoint (5v5): Capture, defend, and hold a rolling series of dynamically changing bases.
- Control (5v5): Capture and hold a single zone.
- Kill Confirmed (5v5): Destroy enemies and grab their tokens, or grab your allies’ dropped tokens to deny the other team points.
- Conquest (10v10): Large teams and multiple capture zones make for a sprawling, dynamic war zone.
Powered by Wargaming’s new proprietary engine, World of Tanks: HEAT will launch simultaneously across PC (Wargaming Game Center and Steam), PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam Deck and Nvidia GeForce NOW, with full cross-platform play and cross-progression.
