World of Tanks has confirmed a partnership with Banijay Rights, the global distribution arm of Banijay Entertainment, to launch Battle Pass Special: Peaky Blinders, a limited time in-game event based on the hit TV series.
Launched on 20 March and running until 31 March, the new Battle Pass Special delivers a variety of Peaky Blinders-themed rewards and will feature Peaky Blinders protagonist Tommy Shelby at the helm.
As part of the Special, players will be able to commend and recruit five of the most formidable figures from the hit drama series including Tommy, his brothers Arthur and John Shelby. For those looking to complete the family empire, a special bundle introduces Ada Shelby, the wily sharp-witted sister, and ambitious cousin Michael Gray.
“With its iconic characters and rich storytelling, Peaky Blinders needs no introduction as one of the world’s most beloved and talked about television dramas,” commented Mark Woollard, svp gaming and gambling at Banijay Rights. “This new event season demonstrates how Banijay Rights constantly strives to find new ways of expanding this incredible series and engage fans.”
The event’s ultimate reward is the Tier IX Premium French Medium tank – Char Murat, coated in ‘Tommy’ 3D style. The tank is visually styled after the combat vehicles of World War I, the conflict which shaped and forever challenged the minds and personalities of the three Shelby brothers.
To truly own the battlefield, players can customise their vehicles with new Peaky Blinders-themed decals and inscriptions. And a specially composed soundtrack inspired by the show will transport them to the streets of Birmingham before they head into battle.
