Subject: World of Tanks Blitz - Macragge's Thunder
We’re excited to announce today that two iconic tanks from the Warhammer 40,000 universe will be joining World of Tanks Blitz in a special Halloween event titled Macragge’s Thunder. The event will also feature an exclusively Warhammer 40,000-themed map and, as the name suggests, the Ultramarines will most definitely be making an appearance. That’s all we can say for now.
What is World of Tanks Blitz?
World of Tanks Blitz is a hugely popular massively multiplayer online game developed by the fine folks at Wargaming which puts you in control of one of history’s finest armoured war machines. It’s a tank lover’s dream game, with more than 100 playable tanks to choose from, lightning-fast gameplay, support for clans and cross-platform gameplay (it’s available on iOS, Android, PC & Mac). It’s also free to download and play.
Gameplay Details
The game pits two teams of 7 tanks against each other, with victory achieved when one side is obliterated or when one successfully captures a critical objective on the map. Battles are fast and furious but require more than just agility and quick reflexes. You need to make the most of your tank’s unique advantages (such as heavy armour, manoeuvrability or pure raw speed) to find the enemy team’s weak spots. You’ll find that teamwork, however, is the key to ultimate victory.
Each battle rewards you with in-game currency, experience points and materials which can be used to customise and upgrade your existing tank fleet, and to add more to tanks to your roster. There are also missions which can span multiple games which, when completed, give you extra rewards including bonus experience and buffs which give you that extra edge in an upcoming battle. It has action, it has tactics and it has strategy, but most importantly – it has tanks!
More information will be revealed as Halloween approaches, but we can share this sneak peek image from the game with you now. Wargaming have also prepared a short trailer to whet your appetite…

I doubt it will. The Blitz version of the game was originally developed for mobile devices. For some reason, they ended up porting it over to personal computers. But it competes with the normal game there, so I'm not entirely sure why they did that. Bringing Blitz over to consoles would also have it competing with the regular World of Tanks on consoles. So it seems unlikely.
Of course, since they brought it over to PCs, they might bring it to consoles as well. But I wouldn't expect them to.

I was referring to the 40k tanks specifically, not the blitz game itself. They've brought completely fictional tanks from anime over to the console so I'm hoping that the 40k tanks will follow as well.
