Mar 28,2025 Author: Christopher

World of Tanks Blitz is gearing up for a significant transformation that goes beyond mere cosmetic enhancements or limited-time collaborations. The game is set to be fully ported to Unreal Engine 5, promising a complete overhaul of its visuals and gameplay mechanics. This monumental update, known as the Reforged update, is poised to breathe new life into the beloved tank combat simulator.

Starting January 24th, eager players will have the opportunity to participate in the first Ultra test, getting a firsthand look at the revamped commanders, maps, and revitalized graphics. This update aims to make the game, which is now five years old, appear as fresh as if it were just released. If you can't join the initial test, don't fret; numerous test periods are planned over the coming weeks to ensure everyone gets a chance to experience the Reforged update.

The Reforged update isn't just about visual enhancements. It also includes updated physics and other technical improvements, bringing World of Tanks Blitz closer in line with its mainline counterpart. Players interested in an exclusive first look can sign up on the newly-launched official website dedicated to the update.

The transition to Unreal Engine 5 could be a double-edged sword for World of Tanks Blitz. While the graphical improvements are undeniable, there's a potential risk of performance issues for users with lower-end devices. However, given the game's cross-platform nature, the developers are likely well aware of the need to cater to a wide range of hardware capabilities. Whether the visual enhancements will outweigh any initial performance hiccups remains to be seen.

If you've been considering diving into World of Tanks Blitz, this update might be the perfect time to explore what the game has to offer, especially if you're equipped with a new gaming phone.
