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

World of Tanks Blitz launched a unique marketing campaign: a cross-country road trip featuring a real, decommissioned tank! This eye-catching stunt, a graffiti-covered tank promoting the recent Deadmau5 collaboration, made stops across the US, culminating at The Game Awards in Los Angeles.

The street-legal tank, safe for both Wargaming staff and Deadmau5, boasts a vibrant graffiti design. Fans who snapped photos were entered to win exclusive merchandise.

The Deadmau5 collaboration within World of Tanks Blitz is now live, offering players the chance to acquire the exclusive Mau5tank—a tank featuring lights, speakers, and music—along with themed quests, camos, and cosmetics.

The campaign's playful approach to game promotion is undeniably humorous, though it might frustrate serious military simulation enthusiasts. It's a lighthearted, harmless event, not the first of its kind—even breweries have pulled similar stunts—but a welcome distraction during the winter months, particularly for fans of heavy metal music.
