World of Tanks Blitz is traveling to an alternative future where Earth is covered in ice and snow while humanity struggles to survive. But not all is lost as this harsh, cold world rewards your efforts with resources, tanks, and other prizes. Unafraid of a challenge? Then join us for Operation Eternal Winter!
How to Get Rewards?
To participate in the in-game event, you need a Tier III vehicle or higher. Operation Eternal Winter includes two reward progressions, each consisting of 80 levels. The upper (silver) progression is available to everyone with a regular Pass, meaning all players. The lower (gold) progression is only available to Premium Pass holders. Increase the Level of your Pass to get rewards. To do so, complete missions and earn Cryotainers: 10 Cryotainers = 1 Level.
Although your Level increases automatically, you will need to collect your rewards manually.
You can earn up to 30 Cryotainers per day. Premium Pass owners get access to an additional mission that provides an extra 10 Cryotainers. With Premium Pass, you can earn 40 Cryotainers a day and unlock 4 levels with rewards. Also, Premium Pass lets you instantly increase your Level using gold.
When Does Operation Eternal Winter Take Place?
• CIS: from January 2, 8:00 (MSK) to January 30, 8:00 (MSK) • Europe: from January 2, 13:00 (CET) to January 30, 13:00 (CET) • North America: from January 2, 5:00 (PT) / 8:00 (ET) to January 30, 5:00 (PT) / 8:00 (ET) • Asia: from January 2, 14:00 (UTC+8) to January 30, 14:00 (UTC+8)
What Rewards Can I Get?
There will be huge amounts of resources, themed camos and avatars, a profile background, certificates for XP bonuses for victories, and Collector tanks!
With Premium Pass, you'll get the Pz.Kpfw. II Luchs, a Tier IV light tank, at Level 1. Armed with a quick-firing gun, this nimble tank is an ideal scout that can whirl around any enemy.
And at Level 35, the Icebreaker, a unique Tier VI heavy tank, will be added to your Garage. This tank, powered by a cryogenic engine, is the child of the Eternal Winter. Its parts give off a cold glow, its armor is tempered by the harsh frost, and its commander's heart won't be melted by the hottest battles in history!
What's the most important thing you should always take with you when going on a space journey? You're right as always, Commander! Holiday cheer! Without it, the rocket simply won't start. But now that we think of it, rocket fuel will also come in quite handy. So get your holiday cheer going, enter Gravity Force, and embark on a space journey to Everfrost! Fight in low gravity and explore the fantastic landscapes of the new map!

We wish you happy holidays and thumping victories in 2021!
From December 18 to January 8, pop into the Auction and celebrate the holidays by adding to your collection of rare vehicles!
How does the Auction work?
The Auction lasts for three weeks: • Week 1: December 18 to December 25 • Week 2: December 25 to January 1 • Week 3: January 1 to January 8
At the beginning of each week, 9 lots with rare Premium vehicles go on sale. Their prices drop every day! But keep your eyes open: the number of tanks is limited and, if you wait too long, they can be snapped up by other bidders. At the end of the week, the vehicles are removed from the Auction, even if they didn't sell out. Then the next week of the Auction starts and 9 new lots go on sale. You can find the list of vehicles available for purchase on the Auction page.
Score victories in battles from December 18 to January 4. Each victory will earn you 1 Jingle Bell. Collect and use them to complete the event stages and claim your rewards! Resources, vehicles, holiday camos, Garage decorations, a Snow Globe with a rare tank inside, and even Tanky the Snowman... So what are you waiting for? The Express is departing very soon!
You can also find rewards in Holiday Chests. One Holiday Chest requires gold to open, the other Free XP. Inside you'll find boosters, vehicles, legendary and rare camos, Premium Account time, credits, gold, and Snow Globes! Give the Globe a good shake and receive 7,500 gold or one of 20 excellent tanks, including the newly arrived AMX M4 Mle. 54!
Yuletide Express timetable
• CIS: from December 18, 8:00 (MSK) to January 4, 8:00 (MSK) • Europe: from December 18, 13:00 (CET) to January 4, 13:00 (CET) • North America: from December 18, 6:00 (PT) / 9:00 (ET) to January 4, 6:00 (PT) / 9:00 (ET) • Asia: from December 18, 14:00 (UTC+8) to January 4, 14:00 (UTC+8)
Note! After January 4, the Yuletide Express will reach its final stop and Jingle Bells will no longer be added. From that moment, you will have 4 more days to complete the remaining stages using gold at the rate 50 gold = 1 Jingle Bell. After January 8, Jingle Bells will be deducted from your account without compensation.
The Garage is covered in snow, a magical train is tooting along, the ground crunches beneath your feet, distant planets are approaching... This Update is going to be loaded, magical, and festive! We'll tell you about the events a bit later, so for now, here's a look at the main changes, balance tweaks, and fixes.
ATGMs for Fun Modes
Missiles will be removed for the guns of the T92E1 and XM551 Sheridan. Instead of ATGMs, they'll be able to use HEAT shells with the same penetration and damage. However, fans of missiles will still have an opportunity to fire them as such players will receive the ATGM-equipped Sheridan Missile Collector tank as a gift. This tank can play in Uprising, Gravity Force, Burning Games, and other fun modes.
Holiday Camos
Ideal for a cold winter, warm camos like the cozy Grandma's Gift, dreamy Starlight Night, and scented Evergreen are making their return to the camo selection menu. Dress up and have fun!
The Sinister Traces, Galaxy, Vertigo, Shattered Flames, and Flux camos will no longer be available for purchase.
Balance Changes
Many Tier VI tanks became more effective: the T-2020 is stronger, the Bat.-Chatillon 25 t reloads shells in its magazine faster, and the KpfPz 70 penetrates more frequently and inflicts more damage. Some changes affected high-tier Swedish and British tanks.
Improvements and Fixed Bugs
For portable and mobile devices, joystick inversion to move backwards was added. This option is disabled by default and available via the Controls tab in Settings.
Nintendo: the bug with incorrect reading of controls type when running the game with a disabled joy-con was fixed.
Nintendo: the bug with incorrect link navigation on info screens was fixed.
iOS: the bug when an email address wasn't linked to the game account when using the "Sign in with Apple" function was fixed.
The bug when sound didn't work upon switching camouflage season slots was fixed.
The bug when Pyroleum Boosters were still displayed in the booster panel was fixed.
Various screens, descriptions, and notifications were improved.
Strange and unexplainable things happen in Uprising: vehicles go invisible, turn back time, or shock each other with lightning. And when a tank is destroyed, it respawns on the battlefield to take vengeance on its attacker! Take part in Uprising and see for yourself!
Schedule

How to Enter Uprising

Operation Jolly Countdown includes two reward progressions, each of which is divided into 80 levels. The upper (silver) progression is available to everyone with a regular Pass, meaning all players. The lower (gold) progression is only available to Premium Pass holders. Increase the Level of your Pass to get rewards. To do so, complete missions and earn Gingies: 10 Gingies = 1 Level.
To participate in the in-game event, you need a Tier III vehicle or higher.
Although the Level increases automatically, you will need to collect the rewards manually.
You can earn up to 30 Gingies per day. Premium Pass owners get access to an additional mission that provides an extra 10 Gingies. With Premium Pass, you can earn 40 Gingies a day and unlock 4 levels with rewards. Also, Premium Pass lets you instantly increase your Level using gold.

What Rewards Can I Get?
There will be huge amounts of resources, themed camos and avatars, a profile background, certificates for XP bonuses for victories, and Collector tanks!
With Premium Pass, Level 1 already gives the Pz. 38 nA, a nimble Tier IV light tank with a fast-firing gun that can unleash precise shots even when driving at full speed.
And at Level 35, the Rudolph, a unique, festive Tier VI medium tank, will be added to your Garage. Reindeer horns sit atop its turret, and the hull is decorated like Santa's sleigh. When the Rudolph is in your Garage, snow gently falls on it while bullfinches flit around. In battle, this maneuverable, quick-firing tank will easily prove that it not only cheers everyone up but that it will also act decisively in defense of the Christmas spirit!
