Metal Fest returns to World of Tanks Modern Armour, and this year the spotlight is on rock legends KISS.
Kicking off on 26 August, Metal Fest is an in-game music event and delivers an electrifying KISS-themed experience with two new challenges loaded with KISS-inspired awards, plus a new PvE mode on a specially-designed map and more.
Metal Fest runs through to 15 September, and features four new one-of-a-kind Premium tanks, each inspired by a classic KISS character:
- The Demon: wielding a hellish flamethrower
- The Starchild: uses a 3-round autoloader for quick damage
- The Spaceman: “flying” across the battlefield using rocket boosters
- The Catman: scratching enemies with lightning fast guns
As an added bonus, each KISS Premium tank will blast “Rock and Roll All Nite” when players select it in the garage. All four KISS personas come alive as fully animated 3D Hero Commanders, complete with custom voiceover. Gene Simmons powers The Demon, while Paul Stanley brings The Starchild to life.
“Metal Fest in World of Tanks Modern Armor is pure rock ’n’ roll mayhem,” said Gene Simmons, founding member of KISS. “We’re bringing fire, power, and pure adrenaline. When KISS shows up, you know it’s going to be epic.”
For the first time in its three-year history, Metal Fest is introducing an all-new “Rush the Stage” mode on a map designed especially for this event. The mode will run for two weeks, with players charging into battle in World War II tanks during the first week and Cold War tanks during the second. The objective is to capture three bases and destroy enemy tanks to earn points—the first team to reach 1,000 points wins and takes home great prizes! For those who prefer to play solo, a dedicated Personal Challenge will be available, offering a variety of exclusive KISS-branded rewards and discounts.
Metal Fest runs from 26 August to 15 September.
