The company launches its biggest charity initiative across 6 games

October 18th, 2023 – Here at Wargaming, we love war games, but we loathe real war. And this subject has been especially sensitive for us, as we have a whole studio back in Kyiv that works hard on World of Tanks and other products despite all the horrors their country is living through every day.

Over the past year and a half, Wargaming has been contributing to donations to help the Ukrainian civilians, including 1 million dollars donated to medical assistance and equipment during the first week of war and 100,000 dollars donated to the victims of the Kakhovka disaster and several other efforts. Hundreds of our employees have been making donations through their own initiative, launching an internal fundraising campaign and gathering 200,000 euros to purchase ambulance cars for Ukrainian medics.

We believe in the power of unity and are determined to continue our efforts. Now, we are inviting all our players to join us in support of those who have been affected by the war and launching our biggest charity project — WargamingUnited.

Starting today, we are welcoming community across six of our games — World of Tanks, World of Tanks Blitz, World of Tanks Modern Armor, World of Warships, World of Warships: Legends, and World of Warplanes — to unite around this global initiative. Each game will be featuring special Ukraine-themed bundles with customization elements crafted by the artists at Wargaming Kyiv studio. With these time-limited offers, players can not only assist those in need but also receive valuable in-game content while showing their support.

We will donate 100% from every purchased “WargamingUnited” bundle* via UNITED24, the official fundraising platform of Ukraine, for buying C-type ambulances that will take on the duty to save lives. C-type ambulances are highly specialized vehicles, equipped with the essential defibrillators, cardiac monitors, oxygen tanks, and artificial lung ventilator devices needed to keep the injured alive until they can reach an operating room. Each ambulance funded will help save hundreds of lives.

The bundles will be available from October 18^th until November 1^st.

Check “WargamingUnited” official page to learn more about the initiative: http://united.wargaming.net/

Hong Kong, October 18, 2023 – Bluepoch Games has announced that 20th Century time travel strategic RPG Reverse: 1999 has eclipsed 1M global pre-registrations in just one month.

Pre-register today to claim a bundle of in-game rewards upon release, including 5-star character Matilda. 

Saving the timeline and unraveling the mystery behind the “Storm” takes all sorts of personalities, and not all of them are clear-cut heroes.

X will be one of the many Acanists that players will be recruiting to fight the “Storm” when Reverse:1999 launches next week.

Led by curiosity and self-interest above all, X may be protective of his friends or allies, but sees his foes as rich opportunities for potentially lethal (or worse) experimentation in the course of his scientific inquiries. Woe be to anyone who gets between him and his stock of coffee beans, too. Beyond being a master engineer, X also wields powerful arcane powers which allow him to enhance and enchant devices, including his already-menacing inventions. It’s probably for the best that he appears to be on your side… at least so long as you hold his interest.

X is not only one of dozens of mysterious strangers ready to join your cause in Reverse: 1999, but also among those who extended a helping hand to protagonist Vertin, Timekeeper of the St Pavlov Foundation.
