In what will no doubt, to quote a coworker, “boil some piss”, two of the pieces of Team Silent have announced a new project! The thing is, it’s not necessarily what fans have been hoping for.
Wargaming’s World of Tanks has joined forces with Masahiro Ito, the Art Director and Monster Designer behind Silent Hill, and Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka, to create the biggest Halloween event in World of Tanks‘ 10-year history. Starting today, and lasting until November 9, players must join together to save the world and uncover the lore behind the town of Mirny-13, using teamwork and tactical cooperation to overcome the armoured manifestations of a mysterious power.
“Inspired by the imaginations of both Ito-san and Yamaoka-san – we’ve let our team run wild for spooky season, with a custom event map and a unique coop mechanics; this PVE event will be unlike any other” says Max Chuvalov, World of Tanks Global Publishing Director. “But beware, those who go it alone will do so at their own peril. Teamwork is key this Halloween, and it is the only way to vanquish your frightful foes.”
Players will be taken through four changing worlds in Platoons of five, riding in specifically modified Tier IX tanks for this event, unlocking the story of Mirny-13 as they go. Throughout the event, tankers will be able to access unique event content, carrying special Crew members, 3D styles and camos, and also heaps of XP and Credits over to the main game.
So, where do Ito and Yamaoka come in? Masahiro Ito designed several of the new tank skins, while Yamaoka contributed a “haunting ambient track” for the event hangar.
“Working on this year’s Halloween event for World of Tanks was a very interesting and rewarding experience,” explains Ito. “The combination of the passionate artists at Wargaming and our shared vision for a unique and frightening event made this all possible. My previous works are known for their unsettling atmospheres, chilling narratives and nightmarish beasts, so hopefully World of Tanks players are ready to experience all of these this Halloween!”
Well, at least Ito and Yamaoka are busy.
World of Tanks is available for PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and the Xbox 360.
