World of Tanks HEAT Season 2 Adds Flamethrower Tanks and 20v20 Battles
Season 2 pushes HEAT further from the tactical tank sim roots of World of Tanks toward a faster hero shooter identity with fictional vehicles and zone-capture rules.

At gamescom 2026, a hands-on demo showed World of Tanks HEAT Season 2 content, including a flamethrower-equipped M1150 ABV tank for the agent Ember and a new 20v20 mode. Season 2 starts September 2 and adds new agents like Gambit alongside new vehicles.
The Season 2 content demo put a flamethrower tank in the middle of a 20v20 zone-capture battle where the first team to 2000 points wins. The weapon runs on an overheating system with no ammo, so holding the fire button lets a player roast enemies continuously until the gauge forces a pause.
The tank shown was the M1150 ABV, a new vehicle for the agent Ember, and its design carries the heavy, rugged look of the original World of Tanks lineup. Driving uses remote-control style tank controls, which take practice for players used to FPS camera movement. The game is a Wargaming and Den Fami Nico Gamer collaborative project.
