World of Tanks at gamescom 2018: Sneak Peek

~ Sebastianul

Taken from the EU portal. Have been busy these last days but I have something to post in return really soon.

Here we go! Once again, World of Tanks will roll its way to Germany for the new edition of the biggest video game fair of Europe: gamescom! As always, we’ll have a few surprises for you. Whether you’ll be there or not, take a look at the activities and offers below, as there is one for every type of tanker out there.

gamescom Activities

This year, we’ll return to Cologne with a lot of gifts, a sweet-looking booth (find us at Hall 8), and tons of activities! Let’s review them:

  • Enjoy the full World of Tanks experience on our gaming stations
  • A tank photobooth and a real Tiger engine
  • On-site competitions for big prizes, not just goodies
  • A special World of Tanks quiz with a twist
  • Dance & musical performances, including The Bombshell Belles, who return after last year’s gamescom Party
  • Exclusive augmented reality experiences
  • Exclusive previews of World of Tanks’ future with our developers

Do you want to get in the mood for the festivities? Well, take a look at the gallery below, which features some of last year’s best moments!

Whether you’ll be at gamescom with us or following the show from the comfort of your home (see the streaming schedule below), we highly encourage you to share your pictures and impressions via Twitter or Instagram, using the hashtag #worldoftanks.

Streaming Schedule

Just like Tankfest, gamescom is too big of an event to be missed! Therefore, we’ll stream from Cologne on our Twitch, Facebook and YouTube accounts. We’ll take your questions live, but you can ask them already on Twitter by using the hashtag #AskWoT! By doing so, you will be automatically entered into our social media contest (see above) for a chance to win amazing gifts, including our custom gaming PC!
Plus, every day we’ll be joined by some renowned commanders, such as one of our biggest contributors, QuickyBaby, as well as Germany’s finest tankers!
