Premium tanks, Commanders, Gold. Rise through the season’s 100 bone-chilling stages to earn your ghastly rewards!

         

Face your nightmares in DARKNESS RISING, the latest season of World of Tanks Modern Armor!

Monsters, specters, and a ton of treats await you in this Halloween-themed season. Become the hunter or the night creature as you complete Challenges to earn points and rise through 100 stages where your rewards lay.

Follow the links below or scroll down for all the season information you need.

Reward Highlights and Season Pass Info


The Darkness Rising season starts on Tuesday, October 1st, and runs through Monday, December 2nd.

You can follow one of three paths to earn season rewards and glory:

  • Free Rewards
  • Season Pass Rewards
  • Ultimate Season Pass Rewards

All Commanders automatically receive rewards from the Free Rewards path. If, at any point in the season, you want to get a Season Pass or Ultimate Season Pass, you’ll also receive the rewards you’ve earned up to your current stage.

Find all the reward details broken down by stage in the game’s “Seasons” tab. Once there, you can also see the season Challenges available. Finish these to receive the points you need to complete each of the season’s 100 stages.

Here’s a graphic with a summary of everything you can get in the Darkness Rising season.

Darkness Rising: Season Tanks

When you go trick or treating (or went as a kid), you and your friends knock on every house to fill your candy bag with all sorts of treats. Then, you hit THE house that gives you THAT treat you remember to this day. Darkness Rising works similarly, but instead of houses you have stages, and instead of sweets, you have community-favorite tanks.

Among them is the resilient KV-4 KTTS tank destroyer, which all Commanders receive after completing Stage 100.

KV-4 KTTS

Already own these vehicles? Then you’ll receive their Silver value as compensation once you complete their associated stages:

So, while the tanks above can be seen as your Halloween treats, this season’s tanks are more akin to monster characters in horror moviesꟷ the fiends that haunt the story from beginning to end and live eternally in the history of cinema.

Got the guts to take on this Cold War hard-hitter and World War II stalker?

Engesa EE-T1 Osório P2

  • Mode: Cold War
  • Affiliation: Independent
  • Era: Détente (Era 3)
  • Class: Medium Tank

The Engesa EE-T1 Osório P2 prototypes, developed by the Brazilian company ENGESA, performed well in initial trials and were compared to the Challenger 2 and M1 Abrams. Now, you get the chance to own and command a piece of tank history with this accurate and flexible medium.

Deploy it as a sniper-assist tank and keep distance in mind for your strategies. Your mobility is good but better suited to get you to sniping locations. Focus on firepower-enhancing perks to use this vehicle to the best of its abilities.
