World of Tanks Blitz set to launch Reforged update, bringing the hit tank sim into Unreal Engine 5

Author : Connor Apr 02,2025

World of Tanks Blitz is gearing up for a stunning transformation, and it's not just about temporary collaborations or cosmetic enhancements. The game is set to undergo a major overhaul with the Reforged update, which will see the beloved tank combat simulator being ported to the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5. This shift promises to bring a whole new level of graphical fidelity and gameplay enhancements to the five-year-old title.

Starting January 24th, eager players will have the opportunity to dive into the first Ultra test of the Reforged update. This initial test phase will showcase revamped commanders, updated maps, and revitalized graphics that will make World of Tanks Blitz look as fresh as a new release. Don't fret if you can't participate in the initial test; multiple testing periods are scheduled in the coming weeks to ensure everyone gets a chance to experience the update.

The Reforged update isn't just about visual upgrades. It also promises enhanced physics and other technical improvements that will align World of Tanks Blitz more closely with its mainline counterpart. If you're excited to get an exclusive first look at what's coming, head over to the newly launched official website and sign up for the tests.

The transition to Unreal Engine 5 could be a double-edged sword for World of Tanks Blitz. While the graphical enhancements are a clear advantage, there's a potential downside for those with lower-end devices who might experience performance issues. However, given the game's cross-platform nature, the developers are likely well-prepared to cater to a broad range of hardware. Whether the visual improvements outweigh any initial performance hiccups remains to be seen.

If you've been hesitant to try World of Tanks Blitz, the Reforged update might just be the push you need to dive in, especially if you're eager to test out your new gaming phone.
