World of Tanks Blitz Celebrates 11 Years with UFC's Jan Blachowicz

  • World of Tanks Blitz marks its 11th anniversary
  • UFC star Jan Blachowicz features in a quirky promotional video
  • Players can claim exciting in-game rewards during the celebration

Some partnerships just click, and when World of Tanks Blitz joined forces with UFC fighter Jan Blachowicz, it felt like a natural fit. After all, combat sports athletes often talk about battling their rivals, making this collaboration a clever nod to that spirit.

If you follow MMA, you know Jan Blachowicz stands out as a fighter with both poise and a sharp sense of humor. He can deliver a knockout in the octagon while keeping things lighthearted outside it, as evidenced by his appearance in a brief, eccentric ad for the game.

The ad shows him on a "date" with a tank, toasting to their 11th anniversary. It’s a mix of awkward, funny, and outright odd—perfectly compelling in its own weird way. You can watch it in all its splendor below.

While the ad celebrates the game’s 11th anniversary, it’s the players who reap the rewards. Log in before July 6th to receive a Festive Container, with prizes that grow more generous based on your account’s age. New players might feel a touch left out, but rewarding loyal fans occasionally feels fair enough.

That’s not all, though—more goodies await. Log in between June 20th and July 4th to claim a Tiger-Maus tank. Then, by playing from June 26th to July 13th, you’ll unlock a Turbo Collector tank sporting a Firestorm Legendary camo. I’m tempted to imagine this as a nod to the iconic Robot Wars competitor, evidence or not.

For those ready to go beyond just logging in, an event path offers a chance to earn a Tier VIII Bisonte C45 tank for your collection. With plenty to dive into, Wargaming hints at even more surprises on the horizon.

World of Tanks Blitz is free to play with in-app purchases, available on the App Store and Google Play. Curious about Jan’s role? Download it for your platform using the links below.
