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

Mar 15,2025 Author: Penelope

World of Tanks Blitz is getting a massive overhaul—not just a temporary skin or collaboration, but a complete port to Unreal Engine 5! This "Reforged" update promises a stunning visual upgrade, bringing the five-year-old game up to modern standards.

The first Ultra test begins January 24th, giving players a sneak peek at revamped commanders, maps, and drastically improved graphics. Don't worry if you miss the initial test; multiple test periods are planned in the coming weeks.

Beyond the visual enhancements, the Reforged update includes updated physics and other technical improvements, bringing World of Tanks Blitz closer to its mainline counterpart. Sign up for exclusive early access on the newly launched official website!

The Unreal Engine 5 Upgrade: A Double-Edged Sword?

The move to UE5 is a double-edged sword. While the graphical improvements are undeniable, there's a potential performance hit for players with lower-end devices. However, given WoT Blitz's cross-platform nature, the developers likely accounted for this, optimizing for both high- and low-powered devices. Whether the visual enhancements outweigh any performance trade-offs remains to be seen.

Thinking about finally diving into World of Tanks Blitz? This update might be the perfect incentive! Before you charge into battle, check out our list of World of Tanks Blitz codes to give yourself a head start.
