NEWS

Are you ready to take your battles into boundless new dimensions? We hope so, because “Steven” is here to serve as your tour guide—and he’s got new voiceover to tell you all about what you’ll see!

Click below or read on to see WoT’s Happening:

CONTRACT: ROSWELL XM66F + SPECIAL GUEST MALIBU “STEVEN”

         

He’s back on terra firma. He’s here to metabolize our tastiest frozen beverages and conquer our shoreline properties. Tremble in fear before this grey-skinned marvel, o, insignificant inhabitants of Earth!

Or, you know… team up with him.

That’s right! From now through September, you can sign a special Premium contract to earn not only the American Tier VIII Roswell XM66F Tank Destroyer (get your Halloween tank early!) but also some stellar content to celebrate “Steven’s” return to Earth for his summer vacation:

  • “Steven” 3D Hero Commander
  • NEW: Malibu “Steven” Commander Skin
  • NEW: Malibu “Steven” Camo (all tanks, all environments)

That’s not all. “Steven” now comes with custom voiceover! If you’ve already recruited him, you’ll find him automatically updated with his new voice lines starting August 20th.

TRANSMISSION DETECTED: Find the contract details in this article.
