World of Tanks Blitz goes IRL with an enormous graffitied tank on a promotional journey

World of Tanks Blitz is taking its marketing to the streets in a spectacular way, as Wargaming embarks on a nationwide tour with a real-life, specially graffitied tank. This unique promotional journey kicked off in Los Angeles, perfectly timed with The Game Awards, to celebrate the recent collaboration with Deadmau5.

Rest assured, the tank is fully street-legal and decommissioned, ensuring no rogue adventures from Wargaming staff or the iconic electronic music DJ. If you were fortunate enough to spot this vibrant, graffitied tank on its cross-country trek, you had the chance to snap a picture and enter a contest for exclusive merchandise.

The much-anticipated Deadmau5 and World of Tanks Blitz collaboration is now live, offering players the opportunity to acquire the exclusive Mau5tank. This tank is not just any vehicle; it's equipped with dazzling lights, speakers, and music. Alongside the tank, themed quests, exclusive camos, and cosmetics are available for players to enjoy.

While some might find the gamification of World of Tanks Blitz amusing, others on military simulation servers might be less enthused about these playful additions to their beloved tank battler. Personally, I see it as a fun and harmless way to engage fans. After all, Wargaming isn't the first to blend entertainment with promotion—breweries have done it too. For fans of heavy metal, seeing a tank roll through your neighborhood can certainly add a spark of excitement to a dreary winter day.

If this unique marketing stunt inspires you to dive into World of Tanks Blitz, make sure you're not going in blind. Check out our list of currently available World of Tanks Blitz promo codes to give yourself a head start in the game.
