Gear up for the holidays! Wargaming, the award-winning developer and publisher, announced today that global action star Jason Statham is this season’s Ambassador for World of Tanks Holiday Ops 2025 event. Known for his iconic roles in blockbuster films like The Meg, The Transporter, the Fast & Furious franchise, and more, Statham will bring his rugged persona and sharp one-liners to this most anticipated World of Tanks event, delivering cheer and the biggest gifts for tankers around the globe.
The annual Holiday Ops 2025 kicks off on December 6th and ends on January 13th, 2025. This year promises a Holiday Ops experience like never before, featuring the newly updated and beloved festive hangar where players will be given special assignments and battle missions to earn rewards from Jason Statham himself.

Enter his stunt double: movie star Jason Statham—brutal, stylish, and ready to take charge. Yet, the project doesn’t have the punch he’s famous for, so Statham takes full control. Watch as he commands the set, transforming an average holiday movie into a full-throttle epic!

9x diamond-certified and gaming enthusiast Post Malone is set to make his mark on the extraction shooter genre with the arrival of the biggest ‘Hunt: Showdown 1896’ event to date – Post Malone’s Murder Circus! Bringing a unique blend of musical artistry and supernatural horror to the Bayou, Gulch and beyond, Post Malone takes on the role of the outcast Ringmaster turned deposed King – the lord of the circus and the human oddities who made up its twisted crew.
Post Malone comments about his passion for ‘Hunt: Showdown 1896’:
“You’re either hundred percent in or you’re done. I could either rock this dude and send him off, or I’m totally naked…. Every game I’m shaking, like this is awesome. Whenever you pull it off, I feel like I’m the best player in the entire world.”
Post Malone’s Murder Circus invites players into a nightmarish world where a once-traveling carnival has been transformed by a mysterious artifact known as the HelioStone. Post Malone, who plays the role of the vengeance driven Deposed King, the former Ringmaster, brings his unique creative vision to the game’s gritty historical landscapes marred by Corruption.
Driven out by the HelioStone’s power, Post shadowed the Circus across the continent vowing to destroy HelioStone. Every time it manifests, he does his best to tear it down to the ground. Sometimes he recruits others – bounty hunters, desperadoes, and suchlike – to do it. Sometimes he takes on the task himself. But always the HelioStone eludes him, and so the chase continues.
Post Malone’s Murder Circus also features a new Monster – orphaned bear cubs, turned unnatural beast, Ursa Mortis. With deformed bodies and minds, twisted into savage hunger by the HelioStone, the monstrous bear that stalks the Circus grounds and will charge at Hunters and attack with a lethal roar.
The collaboration introduces a series of themed hunter skins, weapon variants, enemies and more. Players are invited to experience a surreal carnival-inspired aesthetic that combines the game’s gritty historical setting and extraction shooter mechanics with the artist’s signature style.
Scott Lussier, Game Director for Hunt: Showdown 1896 comments on the collaboration:
“We’re thrilled to have had the opportunity to collaborate with such a passionate and high-profile Hunt fan such as Post Malone. Hunt: Showdown 1896 has always been about creating immersive, high-stakes gameplay. And with Post Malone’s Murder Circus, we’re bringing a new level of intensity and dark entertainment to the Hunt universe”.
