"World of Tanks Blitz Partners with UFC's Jan Blachowicz for 11th Anniversary Celebration"

World of Tanks Blitz has reached a major milestone—it's turning 11! To mark the occasion, Wargaming has rolled out a surprisingly quirky promotional campaign featuring UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz. While it may seem like an unusual pairing at first glance, the collaboration actually makes perfect sense. After all, combat sports and tank warfare both revolve around strategy, power, and intense showdowns.

Jan Blachowicz is known for his professionalism inside the octagon—and his down-to-earth personality outside of it. His appearance in the game’s anniversary ad shows off not only his sense of humor but also his ability to embrace fun, lighthearted moments. The resulting video is a surreal yet oddly entertaining short film where Blachowicz celebrates an "11th wedding anniversary" with a tank—yes, you read that right. It's bizarre, slightly cringeworthy, and undeniably watchable. You can view the full video below.

While the concept might raise a few eyebrows, the real beneficiaries are the players. Logging into World of Tanks Blitz before July 6th rewards you with a special Festive Container. The contents vary based on your account age—the longer you've played, the better the loot. Newcomers might feel left out, but it's always nice to see veteran players receive some well-deserved recognition.

Tanks for the freebies

That’s not all, either. Simply logging in between June 20th and July 4th grants you the iconic Tiger-Maus tank—an impressive addition to any garage. Then, by playing between June 26th and July 13th, you’ll unlock the Turbo Collector tank, complete with the fiery Firestorm Legendary camo. Whether or not it's a nod to Robot Wars' pneumatic flippers remains up for debate, but fans will appreciate the flair.

For those looking for even more action, completing the event path rewards you with the sleek Tier VIII Bisonte C45, ready to dominate the battlefield. And according to Wargaming, there’s still more to come.

World of Tanks Blitz is available for free download on the [App Store] and [Google Play], with optional in-app purchases. If Jan Blachowicz’s involvement has sparked your interest, be sure to grab the game today and join the celebration.
