The World of Tanks team is announcing an explosive crossover with MachineGames’ iconic Wolfenstein video games series. Beginning October 2nd, World of Tanks players will step into the boots of William J. Blazkowicz and his Resistance allies in the upcoming Battle Pass Special: Wolfenstein. The event runs until October 13th, giving tank commanders the chance to receive exclusive Wolfenstein-themed rewards, including authentic franchise characters as crew members, 2D tank styles, a variety of customization elements, and the first German Tier VIII double-barreled heavy tank – the fearsome Zwilling.
The Zwilling, seized from Regime forces and repurposed by Blazkowicz and his allies, is the first German Tier VIII heavy tank to feature a double-barreled gun. Combining quick aim, durable armor, and swift maneuverability, the Zwilling wields twin cannons capable of unleashing brutal salvos or targeted single shots. Adorned with the “Götterfaust” 3D style, the tank embodies brutalist and industrial design, combining angular shapes, streamlined stamped armor plates, and Wolfenstein visual motifs – from drone hulls to trophies like the Panzerhund head and the Zitadelle. All these details transform it into a vengeful symbol of the Resistance.
Five authentic Wolfenstein characters, each fully voiced by their original actors, will join the battlefield. Through Chapter Progression, players can recruit the legendary William J. Blazkowicz alongside his nemesis, scientist Wilhelm “Deathshead” Strasse, both available with zero perks. Additional in-game bundles grant access to Resistance heroines Anya Oliwa and Caroline Becker, as well as the menacing Frau Engel – each with three perks and unique voiceovers.
Upon completing all 40 stages of the Base Rewards Track, Commanders will earn an arsenal of Wolfenstein-themed items, including exclusive decals, inscriptions, a 2D style, and William J. Blazkowicz himself as a tank commander. Wilhelm “Deathshead” Strasse is also available through the Base Progression, ready to join tankers’ ranks.
Players looking for the full Wolfenstein experience can grab themed bundles and take on special combat missions, unlocking even more rewards that reflect the series’ dark yet unyielding spirit.
Join the Resistance, command the Zwilling, and claim victory.
