World of Tanks Blitz set to launch Reforged update, bringing the hit tank sim into Unreal Engine 5

World of Tanks Blitz is set for an exciting transformation, and this isn't just a fleeting collaboration or a temporary cosmetic update. The highly anticipated Reforged update is bringing the popular tank combat simulator to the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5, promising a significant overhaul in graphics and gameplay mechanics.

Starting January 24th, players can participate in the first Ultra test and experience the game's revamped commanders, updated maps, and revitalized graphics firsthand. Even if you miss the initial test, don't worry—there will be numerous test periods in the coming weeks, allowing everyone to get a taste of the new look that makes this five-year-old game appear as fresh as the day it was released.

The Reforged update not only enhances visual appeal but also introduces updated physics and other technical improvements, aligning World of Tanks Blitz more closely with its mainline counterpart. To get an exclusive first look at these exciting changes, head over to the newly launched official website and sign up for the test.

The transition to Unreal Engine 5 for World of Tanks Blitz could be seen as a double-edged sword. While it undoubtedly boosts graphical quality, there's a potential downside for players with lower-end devices, who might experience performance issues. However, given the game's cross-platform nature, the developers are likely well-prepared to optimize for a wide range of hardware.
