The greatest British tanks are available for Cold War mode, and starting today, console players can jump right into the fray! As commanders unlock the 100 levels of new content, they can take advantage of many special rewards: Free tanks - like the A43 Black Prince prototype with high penetrating power or the mobile T95E3 - are available, as well as the standard commander George Hughes and the A43 Black Prince skin. Key cards, gold, silver, consumables and boost ops are other free rewards!

Those who own the Season Pass can unlock even more rewards at each level and the exclusive Super Hellcat very high speed tanks or the powerful FV4211. And for those who want to take the gaming experience to the ultimate level, the Ultimate Season Pass is available with a great holiday discount and instantly unlocks the powerful and fast RDF/LT tank and the premium commander Jon "Frosty" May. While there are generally all the rewards of the standard Season Pass available to Ultimate Season Pass owners, owners will also receive a skip for the first 25 levels.

New maps, Mercenary contracts and more

With the new season comes major updates! There are four completely redesigned maps: Erlenberg and Lakeville are exclusive to WWII mode, while Thiepval Ridge and Raseiniai are available for both WWII mode and Cold War mode. Players can experience the sounds and sights of powerful cannons as squadrons of airmen jet across the tension-filled maps. By players` request, contracts are making a comeback this season. This means that the infamous mercenary tanks will return, starting with the extremely popular level X medium tank, Chisel! In addition to all these updates, players will also find a new garage and user interface.

Holiday events, free gift bundle

But that`s not all. Toy Tank mode is back, bringing with it the "Stocking Stuffer" event where players can pick up various rewards like boosters, massive experience points and silver. The "12 Days of Tankmas" will also launch, offering silver, vouchers, kits and key cards every day. New festive commanders like Krampus and Tactical Santa are new to the game, and the "Santa Needs New Tracks" challenge lets players unlock boosters, the Sleigh T28 concept skin, and the T28 tank itself. Commanders can additionally grab the free holiday gift DLC, for which they will be rewarded with the BT-5 tank, a Tanksmas keycard and three days of premium gameplay. And to top off all the holiday cheer, there`s a massive Tanksmas blowout sale where players can expect big discounts on premium tanks, camouflage, cosmetics, premium game time and much more.

"With the launch of the British Invasion, the annual holiday events and the much-requested return of the Mercenary contracts, we`re excited to offer players a wide range of new content to bring them well into the new year. Next year, we`ll have even more new content and updates in store for our players," said TJ Wagner, Creative Director for World of Tanks: Modern Armor.

The new "British Invasion" season is available now on PlayStation®4 & 5 and Xbox One, Xbox Series S & X and runs through February 8.
