What to expect in World of Tanks Blitz’s Holiday Ops 2024 and how to get involved

Posted by Luke Frater on December 8th, 2023
iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad

World of Tanks Blitz is updating that old story of Santa sneaking down your chimney and silently leaving presents like a jolly old ninja into something a little more modern. Vinnie Jones has traded the sleigh for a tank and is ringing in the festive times with a few not-so-quiet explosions as he heads the Holiday Ops 2024. Who has a fireplace anymore anyway?

Before we head into the Ops themselves, let’s get suitably tooled up a bit first. Until December 10th - so act fast - you can enter yourself into the Cobra Draw. There’s a chance to win Garage gear, containers, a legendary camo for the Cobra, and, of course, somewhere to put this camouflage; the Cobra itself. You can roll into the new year on this metal beast capable of devastating foes with a 400 HP single shot, giving you more than enough damage to tackle the main event.

Venice is one of the oldest and most visited cities in the world due to its rich history and beautiful architecture. With its historic canals flowing throughout the city, there's particular attention to the design of the bridges which the developer at Naïve Studios wanted to bring forth. The way they're doing that is with their recently released game for iOS, Venice Bridges. It gives you the chance to tour around the canals while saving Italy at the same time!

You play the role of a Venetian Gondolier who finds one day that the entire populace are suffering from a mysterious illness, brought about by a group of Plague Doctors that have invaded the city to spread decay and destruction. Luckily, the Gondolier remains unaffected and has the means to fight back.

Age of Origins’ latest update is providing fans with new ways to boost their Titans with the introduction of Titan Equipment. What’s more, players will be able to obtain this new equipment-type for free through its upcoming events, and they’ll also receive a third Drillmaster-type Officer.

Veteran players will already be familiar with just how significant a role Titans play in the strategy RPG, providing significant buffs to troops and dealing tremendous amounts of damage to opponents. Whilst Titan upgrades have been relatively limited so far, with tier, skill, and skin upgrades being the key means of boosting their abilities, the introduction of Titan Equipment now adds an extra component, and even more reason to level up your Titans as much as possible.

Judging by the name, the small New Zealand based outfit doesn’t take itself too seriously but it definitely took a great deal of care and effort in crafting its very first game, as we shall show…
