■ Diverse Battlefields Built on Real-World Locations

The maps in "World of Tanks: HEAT" are built upon real-world locations, featuring a variety of environments and visual styles. While every battlefield has a different look and feel, they are all designed to be played seamlessly across all four game modes and to support various playstyles.

■ Four Competitive Modes with Different Strategies

Four types of competitive combat modes are available, allowing players to adapt their strategies for each mode. Additionally, all modes support respawning, a design that encourages aggressive play and trial-and-error. The features of each mode are explained below.

Conquest (10v10)

・Among the four modes, this one places a particular emphasis on map awareness.

・Capture bases to earn victory points, and maintain control of multiple bases to extend your lead.

・Dynamic events such as bombing runs and elimination challenges are available to significantly alter the state of the battle.

Hardpoint (5v5)

・A mode where capture points called "Hardpoints" appear on the map, leading to constant skirmishes across various locations.

・Similar to "Conquest," capturing bases is crucial. The capture points change location one after another, requiring a swift response.

・Prioritizing defense after capturing a Hardpoint is important.

Control (5v5)

・A highly competitive mode that demands strategic thinking and coordination.

・Win by battling over a single "Control Zone" and reaching 100% progression.

・If an enemy remains in the Control Zone, progression will be held at 99%, eventually triggering overtime. This gives the losing side a chance for a comeback.

・Knowing when to use abilities is crucial. A single decision can dramatically change the flow of battle.

Kill Confirmed (5v5)

・A mode featuring intense, aggressive, close-quarters combat that requires quick on-the-spot decision-making.

・To score points, it is not enough to simply defeat an enemy; you must collect the token they drop.

・You can prevent the enemy team from scoring by collecting tokens dropped by your allies.

・Power-ups appear on the map, so securing them before your opponent is vital.

The "World of Tanks: HEAT" development team will continue to fine-tune existing modes as the game evolves, and will also introduce new modes over time. Furthermore, more details and the latest information about the game are scheduled to be released over the coming weeks.
