For the first time, you will command historically-outfitted vehicles and compete nation-against-nation for victory. With New Frontiers come three new historically-based battles, based on: Operation Spring Awakening, the Battle of Kursk, and the Ardennes Breakthrough. Join in the melee as these locations explode in combat!

 

As New Frontiers arrives, World of Tanks enters a whole new era. Join in on the fun, and we will see you on the battlefield.
