This is not an update to World of Tanks, but a separate new game — built from the ground up, with a different pace of combat, a hero-agent system, and support for PC, consoles, and Steam Deck. Ukrainian localization — on the day of release.

World of Tanks: HEAT is a standalone free-to-play tactical shooter from Wargaming, released on May 26, 2026. The action takes place in an alternative timeline after World War II: specialized vehicles, atypical tactics, and a much faster pace compared to the classic WoT.
Instead of the usual tank system, there are eight Agents in three combat roles: Defender, Assault, and Sniper.
Each player commands two vehicles, each adapted to their role. At the start: 15 vehicles with full module customization, eight maps and four PvP modes — Hardpoint, Control, Confirm Kill and Conquest. Battles — 10 vs. 10.
The game is built on Wargaming’s new proprietary engine, developed entirely in-house. It provides modern visuals and stable operation on a wide range of hardware, including Steam Deck.
HEAT will be available on PC (Wargaming Game Center and Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and NVIDIA GeForce NOW. Full cross-platform play and cross-progression between all platforms are supported.
With just one week left until launch, players can prepare now by joining the community and adding the game to their wishlist before it releases.
