About the game

What the game is

World of Tanks: HEAT is a free-to-play PvP vehicle combat game from Wargaming, released in May 2026. It focuses on tactical team play, with 5v5 skirmishes and larger 10v10 clashes.

The setting is an alternate post-WWII timeline. Science has transformed the world, but an arms race is intensifying beneath its peaceful surface. The tanks are heavy, experimental machines based on real scientific and design concepts.

Agents and tank builds

Pair an Agent with a tank. Each Agent has unique abilities that define how you fight, hold ground, and time your strikes. Every tank can be upgraded, tuned, and fitted with experimental modules. Wargaming says each combination feels different in battle, encouraging players to experiment with builds.

Both battle sizes emphasize personal skill and team coordination. Wargaming describes an equal battlefield with no "win buttons" and says victory depends on communication, adaptation, and outthinking the enemy.

HEAT uses a new engine built from the ground up, with support for advanced lighting, particle effects, and VFX.
