In this business, you either rise… or you get rolled over

March 17, 2026 — World of Tanks is rolling out the red carpet for a very respectable family from the fine city of Lost Heaven. From March 19 through March 29, Commanders are invited to do business the old-fashioned way—through loyalty, ambition, and overwhelming firepower.

This is Battle Pass Special: Mafia, inspired by 2K’s original entry into its legendary underworld franchise. As players progress through the event, they will be able to recruit iconic characters from Mafia: Definitive Edition as vehicle commanders, unlock themed decals, inscriptions, 3D attachments and 2D styles based on the game’s most memorable moments, and much more.

Meet the Predatore, a Tier IX Italian medium tank that will really “send the message”.  Following in the proud tradition of other Italian mediums, it has an accurate auto reloading gun alongside excellent mobility. Its exceptional top speed lets the vehicle deliver its firepower to anywhere on the battlefield.

Every smart boss surrounds himself with a capable team. During Battle Pass Special: Mafia, Commanders can recruit a crew that knows how to handle delicate situations.

• Tommy Angelo – once a taxi driver on the streets of Lost Heaven, is now a rising mob figure who won his respect the hard way.
• Paulie Lombardo – a sharp-tongued wisecracker who keeps spirits high and fists ready.
• Sam Trapani – delivers quiet efficiency and unwavering loyalty, the kind of enforcer any Don trusts without question.
• Frank Colletti –acts as the steady consigliere, guiding every smart move.
• Don Ennio Salieri –a leader who knows respect isn’t given, it’s earned.

Tommy and Paulie join as you progress through stages of the battle pass. For those ready to expand their organization, Sam, Frank, and The Don are available via special in-game bundles.

Any respectable member of the family must look as sharp as they are dangerous. Three classy 2D styles are available to dress your tank for success:

• Little Italy
• Fair Play
• Lost Heaven Noir

Throughout the event, Commanders will also participate in special missions to earn additional rewards, and Twitch viewers will be able to claim themed Drops.

Roll out. Make tracks. And remember—We’re all family here.

Calling all new recruits, the battlefield needs you!

Cornwall, England – March 16th, 2026 – Blue Dot Games is excited to announce that their upcoming 40v40 squad-based tactical first-person shooter ‘83 is hosting a 36-hour Closed Beta, from 15:00 GMT / 11:00 EDT on March 20th, until 23:00 GMT / 19:00 EDT on March 21st. The Closed Beta introduces the Woodpecker map, while giving players a deeper look at ‘83’s alternate 1983 setting, where the Cold War escalates into open conflict and massive combined-arms battles are won through teamwork, coordination, and battlefield tactics.

During the Closed Beta, players take the fight to one of the three maps planned for Early Access: the Woodpecker battlefield. Set around the iconic Duga radar installation, the map features a dense forest battleground built around long sightlines, flanking routes, hard cover and intense fights where mid-range engagements can turn into sudden close-quarters clashes over the objective. The Closed Beta will feature Assault mode, a two-round objective battle inspired by the Rising Storm fan-favourite game mode, where teams alternate between attacking and defending capture points, with attackers pushing forward before running out of time or reinforcement tickets. Players can join either the United States Army or the Soviet Ground Forces, the two core factions available in ’83’s Early Access launch, and can choose from infantry roles such as Rifleman, Machine Gunner, Marksman, Grenadier, and Anti-Tank, alongside Special Forces and leadership roles like Squad Leader and Commander to coordinate their team and call in support. 

To join the Closed Beta, visit the ‘83 Steam store page and click “Request Access” – it’s that simple!

More about ‘83
‘83 puts players in the boots of a soldier in this shadow history, wherein massive 40v40 matches feature authentic Cold War-era weapons, vehicles and squad-based objectives. Coordinate with teammates, capture critical points and dominate the battlefield with smart tactics and teamwork.

‘83 was built on the idea of “accessible realism”, where the game is mindful of players’ time, while also offering an accurate portrayal of how a historical battle could play out. Matches average around 30-40 minutes, while dying only takes you out of the match for a short while, before allowing you to respawn. Don’t underestimate this seemingly low-stakes penalty, as that time-out is enough to turn the tide of battle since ‘83 requires thorough communication and teamwork, with Team Commanders guiding their faction through strategic organization and nail-biting calls. 

Players can choose from a variety of roles: from frontline riflemen to vehicle operators and support units – each with their own loadouts and strategic value. ‘83 features era-authentic weapons and equipment with realistic handling and lethality, with each armament meticulously designed and animated according to its real life counterpart. Every weapon behaves in a realistic way, with barrels and suppressors overheating when rapid firing, machineguns require a stable surface for accuracy, and bullets don’t magically teleport in between magazines when you reload a half-empty one. ‘83’s focus on realism, coordination and large-scale immersion offers players a gritty, boots-on-the-ground experience in a world teetering on the edge of nuclear war!

About Blue Dot Games
Blue Dot Games is an independent game development studio consisting of industry veterans with a passion for immersive, tactically rich shooters. Known for their work on acclaimed titles such as Red Orchestra and Rising Storm, the team brings decades of combined experience in multiplayer game design, systems development, and historical authenticity.

In 2023, Blue Dot Games acquired the rights to ‘83 following the closure of its original developer, Antimatter Games. Since then, the team has led a full-scale revival and redevelopment of the project, building on its foundations with a clear creative vision and renewed technical direction.
