Get ready, tank enthusiasts! World of Tanks Blitz is undergoing a significant transformation, and it's not just about new skins or temporary events. The game is being completely revamped with the upcoming Reforged update, transitioning to the powerful Unreal Engine 5. This shift promises to bring a stunning visual upgrade and enhanced gameplay features to the beloved tank combat simulator.
Starting January 24th, eager players will have the chance to dive into the first Ultra test of the Reforged update. This initial test will showcase revamped commanders, redesigned maps, and revitalized graphics that will make the game feel as fresh as its launch day, despite being five years old. Don't worry if you can't join the first test; multiple testing phases are planned over the coming weeks, giving everyone a chance to experience the update.
The Reforged update doesn't stop at visuals. It also includes updated physics and other technical enhancements, aiming to align World of Tanks Blitz more closely with its mainline counterpart. If you're excited to get an exclusive first look, head over to the newly launched official website and sign up for the tests.

The move to Unreal Engine 5 for World of Tanks Blitz could be a double-edged sword. While it undoubtedly promises improved graphics, there's a potential risk of performance issues for those playing on lower-end devices. However, given the game's cross-platform nature, the developers are likely well-prepared to cater to a broad range of hardware capabilities. Whether the graphical enhancements will outweigh any initial performance challenges remains to be seen.
