World of Tanks Blitz is undergoing a massive transformation—not just a cosmetic update or temporary event, but a complete engine overhaul! The popular tank combat simulator is being ported to Unreal Engine 5, promising a significant visual upgrade and enhanced gameplay experience.

The first Ultra test begins January 24th, giving players an early look at the revamped commanders, maps, and stunningly revitalized graphics. This update will make the five-year-old game look brand new! Don't worry if you miss the initial test; multiple test periods are planned over the coming weeks.

World of Tanks Blitz's "Reforged" update also includes updated physics and other technical improvements, bringing it closer to its mainline counterpart. Sign up for exclusive early access via the newly launched official website!

Blitz Play Considerations:

The shift to UE5 presents a double-edged sword. While graphical fidelity will undoubtedly improve, there's a potential performance impact for players with less powerful devices. However, given World of Tanks Blitz's cross-platform nature, the developers likely accounted for this, aiming for optimization across a range of hardware. Whether the visual enhancements outweigh any performance trade-offs remains to be seen.
