- World of Tanks Blitz is celebrating its 11th anniversary
- To mark the occasion, the game features a unique promotional video with UFC champion Jan Blachowicz
- Players can claim exclusive in-game rewards by logging in during the celebration period
World of Tanks Blitz has hit the 11-year milestone, and to celebrate, Wargaming pulled out all the stops—with a little help from former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz. The collaboration might sound unexpected at first, but when you think about it, the connection makes sense. Combat, strategy, and power—whether you're in the octagon or behind the turret, the intensity is real.
Jan Blachowicz, known for his composed demeanor and sharp fighting style, brings his signature presence to a delightfully odd anniversary ad. In the short film, he’s seen on a candlelit date with a tank—yes, really—commemorating their 11th "anniversary." The result? A mix of awkward charm, dry humor, and surrealism that somehow works. It's quirky, memorable, and absolutely worth a watch.
But the real celebration is for the players. As part of the 11th-anniversary event, logging into World of Tanks Blitz before July 6th grants you a special Festive Container. The contents vary based on your account’s age—the longer you’ve been playing, the better the rewards. It’s a nice nod to loyal players who’ve been in the garage for years.
And that’s not all. From June 20th to July 4th, simply logging in will earn you the powerful Tiger-Maus tank. Then, by playing between June 26th and July 13th, you’ll unlock the Turbo Collector tank, complete with the Firestorm Legendary camo—a fiery aesthetic that brings a Robot Wars-style flair, whether intended or not.
For those eager to go the extra mile, an event progression path offers the Tier VIII Bisonte C45 tank as a top-tier reward. It’s a solid incentive for active players looking to expand their armored arsenal.
With more surprises reportedly on the way, now is a great time to jump back into World of Tanks Blitz. The game is available for free on the App Store and Google Play, with optional in-app purchases. If Jan Blachowicz’s tank date didn’t convince you, the lineup of free rewards just might. [ttpp]
