World of Tanks Blitz is celebrating its 11th birthday, and to mark the occasion, the game’s developers have gone down a rather unconventional route—teaming up with UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz for a quirky promotional campaign. While it might seem like an odd pairing at first glance, the collaboration actually makes perfect sense when you consider how combat sports and tank warfare are both steeped in strategy, intensity, and that unmistakable "battle-ready" mentality.
Jan Blachowicz, known for his composed demeanor and sharp sense of humor, steps into the spotlight in a surprisingly bold way. The promo features him on what can only be described as a romantic date—with a tank—celebrating their fictional 11th anniversary. Yes, it's bizarre. Yes, it's awkwardly entertaining. And yes, it's absolutely worth watching. Whether it’s genius marketing or just gloriously weird, one thing’s for sure—it’s unforgettable. You can check out the full video below:
But while the ad might raise a few eyebrows, the real celebration is all about the players. As part of the anniversary festivities, logging into World of Tanks Blitz before July 6th grants you a special Festive Container. The contents? That depends on how long you've been playing—the older your account, the better the reward. It's a nice touch for loyal players, though newer recruits might feel slightly left out. Still, it's always refreshing to see long-time fans recognized.
Free tanks and more—just for logging in
But wait, there's more! If you log in between June 20th and July 4th, you’ll receive the mighty Tiger-Maus tank—an iconic armored beast that’s sure to turn heads on the battlefield. Then, by simply playing between June 26th and July 13th, you'll unlock the Turbo Collector tank, complete with the Firestorm Legendary camo. Whether it’s a nod to classic robot battles or just pure coincidence, one thing’s certain: this tank looks as fierce as it sounds.
For those looking to go beyond simple logins, there's also a full event path available. Complete the challenges and earn yourself the Tier VIII Bisonte C45—a high-performance Italian medium tank that’s more than ready for action. With so many rewards up for grabs, there's never been a better time to jump into World of Tanks Blitz.
World of Tanks Blitz is free to play on both the App Store and Google Play, featuring optional in-app purchases. If Jan Blachowicz’s tank-themed romance has piqued your interest, why not download the game now and get in on the celebration?
