New Launches of Arcade in WOT 2025
In version 1.27.1, the familiar Arcade mode returns during the general test. While the exact launch dates are unknown, previous events were held in December 2023 for the winter Arcade events and in March 2024 for the spring events.
Let’s briefly describe the main points of each mode. The basic principles remain unchanged.
Winter Arcade (Expected in February)
Snowball Fight:
Transform into a “high-explosive monster” regardless of your vehicle. The armor penetration of primary and special shells is reduced, but the damage of high-explosive shells is increased. The appearance of the ammunition matches the festive holiday atmosphere.
Ice Age:
Navigate the rink in a multi-ton machine with two options: feel like a cow on ice or showcase stylish drifts. As compensation, the spread has been reduced, and festive shot effects enhance the event’s atmosphere.
Battle Locations:
- “Snowball Fight” and “Ice Age” take place on snowy battle locations: Mannerheim Line, Erlenberg, and Calm.
- Special winter versions of the maps “Karelia,” “Prokhorovka,” and “Malinovka” are available for playing in submodes.
Spring Standard Arcade (Expected in March)
The Surprise Effect:
Forget everything you know about your vehicle’s performance characteristics, damage spread, speed, and hit points. The damage range has been expanded, with higher maximum damage and lower minimum damage, increasing the probability of extreme values. Additionally, the rate of fire and engine power have been increased, giving you more chances to test your new weapon.
Railgun:
Experience the most improved sight with increased accuracy, allowing you to hit targets across the entire map. Ambush tactics are obsolete as the guaranteed detection radius (the “x-ray”) is now 445 meters. Fortunately, increased mobility and accuracy on the move make guarding the bushes on the red line unnecessary.
