World of Tanks Metal Fest 2025

World of Tanks Modern Armor third annual Metal Fest is now live, running until September 15.

The collaboration for the free-to-play shooter this year is the legendary rock band KISS. A rock ‘n’ roll arena has taken over the battlefield, giving players a chance to experience KISS through exclusive challenges, themed rewards, and a new game mode.

There are four unique Premium tanks inspired by the band’s iconic personas: The Demon, The Starchild, The Spaceman, and The Catman. Each tank features distinct combat abilities that reflect the members. Selecting any of these vehicles in the garage will trigger the anthem “Rock and Roll All Nite.” Players can also command animated 3D Hero Commanders voiced by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, alongside 2D Commander versions, Emblems, Inscriptions, and KISS-themed garage gear.

Metal Fest 2025 also debuts the “Rush the Stage” mode, a new PvE experience with its own map where teams must capture bases and destroy enemy tanks to earn points. The mode rotates between World War II and Cold War tanks across two weeks. And a personal challenge system offers KISS-branded rewards, while the “Rock ‘n’ Rewards” means daily gifts for players who log in throughout the event.
