Overview

  • World of Tanks: HEAT is a standalone, fast-paced 10v10 hero‑tank shooter set in an alternate post‑WWII world with customizable vehicles and special abilities.
  • HEAT runs on a new in‑house engine with planned cross‑platform launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Steam Deck, plus cross‑progression and wishlist support.
  • Wargaming characterizes HEAT as Free‑to‑Win, stating monetization will focus on cosmetics, battle passes and time‑saving options rather than power advantages.
  • World of Tanks Update 2.0 rolls out on September 3, introducing Tier XI with 16 tanks at launch across heavy, medium, tank destroyer and light classes.
  • Update 2.0 reworks 350+ vehicles, rebuilds matchmaking with new role limits to improve team balance, and adds the Operation Boiling Point PvE event, the Nordskar map, a revamped UI and hangar, and upgraded sound.
