World of Tanks: HEAT, the new standalone free-to-play title from Wargaming, enters closed beta from April 16 to 20, and will be available on PC (Steam and Wargaming Game Center), Steam Deck, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and via the Nvidia GeForce NOW service.
This is a tactical shooter title with vehicles that brings a completely new experience within the World of Tanks franchise, set in an alternate post-WWII era. The game combines classic tank battles with modern “hero shooter” elements and a faster pace of play.
In HEAT, players take on the role of elite Agents, characters with special abilities that can turn the tide of battle. Each tank has its own tactical advantages and can be further customized through advanced weapon, armor, and visual modification systems.
During the beta, three roles will be available:
Defender
Assault
Marksman
The beta version will include four PvP modes on eight maps:
Hardpoint (5v5): Capture, defend, and hold a series of dynamically changing bases.
Control (5v5): Capture and hold a single zone.
Kill Confirmed (5v5): Destroy enemies and collect their tokens or pick up your allies' tokens to prevent the opposing team from scoring points.
Conquest (10v10): Large teams and multiple zones to capture create an extensive and dynamic battlefield.
Powered by Wargaming's new graphics engine, World of Tanks: HEAT will launch simultaneously on PC (Wargaming Game Center and Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam Deck, and Nvidia GeForce NOW service, with full support for cross-platform play and cross-progression.
