World of Tanks is not shy of strange collaborations, they’ve paired up with Valkyria Chronicles, Warhammer, Swedish Heavy Metal Band Sabaton, Hot Wheels, and G.I. Joe in the past but nothing as weird as their latest team up.
Ex footballer and Hollywood hard man Vinnie Jones stars in this new five minute short in which he and his team of thugs dish out punishment to those on Santa’s Naughty List. However, Vinnie has had enough of this pays Santa a visit in his hot tub (yes, really) and they go off in a tank and blow stuff up.
Watch it, and wonder who the hell dreamed this up.
“You heard that correct, I’m hanging up my candy canes for good to join the awesome World of Tanks players for Holiday Ops 2024,” said Vinnie Jones, holiday enforcer turned World of Tanks Holiday Ambassador. “My days of ‘correcting’ people on the naughty list are over. I am a World of Tanks commander now, and it is going to be ‘Jingle-Bells’ all the way!”
Vinnie’s appearance in the game is part of Holiday Ops 2024 which launches on December 1st.
“Team up with Vinnie Jones in the tanker garage, where he will be assigning challenges and quests to the most focused and festive of tankers. Successfully completing these missions will reward players with themed customization items such as celebrity-inspired tank skins, emblems, inscriptions, decals, medals, unique decorations, avatars, and more. Players of World of Tanks and World of Tanks Modern Armor can also recruit Vinnie into their tank crews, with his gruff iconic voice supporting tankers in battles.”
