Commemorate a key moment in World War II with a Tech Tree vehicle discount and a Challenge!

Eighty years ago this week—on April 16th, 1945—Soviet forces led by Marshal Georgi Zhukov began an assault on the German town of Seelow. The goal: break through German defenses and secure control of Berlin by April 22nd, Lenin’s birthday.

The elevated terrain of the Seelow Heights complicated Zhukov’s initial plans. However, by April 19th, his forces had succeeded in breaching the eastern German front. The Soviet military then proceeded on to Berlin, helping to clear the way for what would become V-E Day and the end of World War II in Europe.

In honor of this historic occasion, enjoy the following themed specials this week! First, take advantage of a Tech Tree discount:

Although this discount applies to tanks from any nation, you can use it to claim Tech Tree tanks based on those involved in real-life battles fought in 1945, like the T-34-85, the ISU-152, and the Tiger I.

Second, for those further looking to bring history to the console battlefield, the Battle for the Seelow Heights Challenge will reward you all this week whenever you play Soviet or German tanks. Choose your vehicle and press onward, no matter the odds!
