Wargaming released World of Tanks: Heat on May 26, a free-to-play third-person shooter that combines tank combat with hero shooter abilities.

Wargaming launched World of Tanks: Heat on May 26 as a free-to-play title on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is a third-person shooter that merges the tank battles of World of Tanks with hero shooter-style abilities. Players pick one of eight agents, each tied to specific tanks and classified as Attacker, Defender, or Sniper. Agents cannot be swapped mid-match.
The four game modes-Hardpoint, Control, Conquest, and Kill Confirmed-all emphasize objective play over kill counts. Tanks are large, tough, and slow, with a time-to-kill that can stretch tens of seconds in a 1v1 fight. Front armor is thickest, while sides, top, rear, and bottom are weaker. Positioning matters more than aim, though hitting weak points like fuel tanks and engines deals massive damage.
