Today, November 1st, marks the 12th anniversary for War Thunder, which means Gaijin Entertainment is ready to celebrate big time with some events, a spicy new trailer, and of course, plenty of freebies for players to gather ups.
The in-game events are all about handing players the keys to a pair of tanks (or whatever starts a tank’s engine). First, the Dreams Come True event will offer cosmetics and the Soviet KV-7 tank destroyer for mission points between now and November 13th. After that there’s the Chasing the Older Brother event happening between November 15th and 18th, which pits KV-7s in battle against one another to earn golden tickets that work as entries to win one of 12 IS-7 tanks that will be handed out during a livestream on November 22nd.
The anniversary is further being heralded by cash shop sales, a free commemorative in-game decal for simply logging in, and the opportunity for players to research the returning Maus tank until November 6th. Finally, there’s the aforementioned new cinematic trailer that’s full of military vehicle bombast and a soaring new vocal song, which can be experienced below.
