You’re going to be pleased to know that the studio has announced a limited-time closed beta for the game from April 16, 2026, all the way through to the 20th. It will be available on all consoles and PC, and registrations are currently open. It’s looking quite exciting with a bevvy of available tanks and eight maps alongside a variety of gameplay modes that have you attacking and defending for control of the battlefield in many different ways. You’re going to be joined by three others in its PvP gameplay loop, and the atmosphere is very much that of a nasty warzone where anything can go wrong.

We’ve previously covered how the game’s monetization isn’t going to affect your gameplay, with only cosmetics and the like being a part of its purchases. This one looks quite good, but you can always check out the beta test’s trailer showcased below if you don’t want to take our word for it.

World of Tanks: HEAT is currently in the works for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. It doesn’t have a release date.

The game, announced with a trailer that you can check out below, will be a free-to-play standalone title that makes use of an alternate take on the post-World War 2 era.

World of Tanks: HEAT will focus on offering players more fast-paced combat than what Wargaming typically tends to offer. Players will command hero-enhanced tanks in epic 10-on-10 battles. Tanks can be customised with advanced weapon systems and armour modules. Players will also get to take command of experimental vehicles, each with their own unique abilities.

In the announcement press release, Wargaming CEO Victor Kislyi has described World of Tanks: HEAT as being the studio’s “bold vision for the franchise” thanks to its fresh setting as well as new gameplay mechanics and faster pace of gameplay. The studio has also confirmed that the monetisation of World of Tanks: HEAT will focus purely on cosmetic items, time savers, and battle passes.

World of Tanks: HEAT is coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Wargaming has also confirmed that the upcoming title will be compatible with the Steam Deck, and that it will be released on all platforms simultaneously, while also offering players cross-progression. However, no release date for the title has been confirmed yet.
