New Year season & holiday content
• Holiday content in a Viking theme: new fittings and loot boxes (released in stages).
• A special highlight of the season is the uniquely styled Jötunfang tank in three variants: Mk1 / Mk2 / Mk3 (released in stages).
• The New Year hangar is back—and optimized compared to last year.
• We’ve prepared festive decorations for battle maps; they’ll activate closer to the start of the events to set the right holiday mood.
Effects & visuals
• Significant visual work: the updated effects system now uses triggers, making the image richer and more dynamic.
• New mud-spray effects from under the tracks, depending on surface type.
• Updated impact effects across different surface types.
• Improved golden shell muzzle effect, plus a refined destruction effect when using golden shells.
• During events, the look of gunfire may change.
• When graphics are set above Medium, enhanced post-processing turns on automatically (soft bloom and global color correction).
• Dynamic lighting has been improved.
Vehicle updates
We refreshed the appearance of several vehicles to better match modern standards:
DeadMoroz Mk3 [P];
Rudolph Mk2 [P];
Krampus Mk1 [P];
M1A2 Abrams [P];
Leclerc [P];
Type 99A2 [P];
Battle Pass
• Battle Pass rewards are now clearer and easier to claim. If you unlock new BP stages (with rewards) during a battle, they’re grouped into a separate block after the match and offered for collection.
Economy & UI
• A long-standing request: selling vehicles from your hangar has returned;
• Event-specific currencies now appear only where they’re actually used and are automatically hidden after the event ends;
• Rank-up currency is also temporarily hidden—the rank system is slated for a rework;
Combat readability
• Tank outlines have been updated and made thicker. Vehicle silhouettes are now easier to read, especially in fast-paced battles.
New vehicle
• This update adds the modern heavy tank Panzer 51.
Technical improvements
• Improved stability when connections drop.
• Graphics and performance settings optimized, including festive decorations on battle maps.
• On some devices with certain processors, Low graphics will be enabled by default to ensure stable performance and smooth controls.
• The game has been migrated to a new engine version; issues after the migration have been fixed.
• Numerous other small but important fixes.
Thank you for staying with us this year. May the update bring not only fresh impressions but also that calm, pre-holiday spirit. See you in battle! ❄️
