World of Tanks Blitz is undergoing a significant transformation! This isn't a temporary cosmetic update or collaboration; the entire game is being ported to Unreal Engine 5!

The "Reforged" update will be showcased in its first Ultra test starting January 24th. Players will experience overhauled commanders, maps, and dramatically improved graphics, making the five-year-old game look brand new. Multiple test periods will follow, ensuring everyone gets a chance to participate.

Beyond visual enhancements, the Reforged update promises upgraded physics and other technical improvements, bringing the mobile version closer to its PC counterpart. Sign up for early access via the official website!

Performance Considerations:

The UE5 transition presents a double-edged sword. While graphical fidelity improves significantly, lower-end devices might experience performance issues. However, given the game's cross-platform nature, developers are likely to have optimized for a wide range of hardware. Whether the visual upgrade outweighs potential performance drawbacks remains to be seen.
