Metal fans will be excited to know that Wargaming has teamed up with iconic metal band Megadeth to roll out a music in-game event, dubbed Metal Fest. The latest collaboration brings the thunderous power of metal to all four of its games: World of Tanks Modern Armor, World of Tanks Blitz, World of Warships, and World of Warships Legends.
Kicking off on 28 August, the Metal Fest will feature an exclusive voicer over by Dave Mustaine, the frontman of Megadeth, James Lomenzo, Dirk Verbeuren, Kiko Loureiro, and an array of Megadeth-branded in-game items such as tanks and warships, in-game missions and quests, integrated songs and more.
“This is the first time our images have been immortalized in video games! Moreover, our mascot has unleashed its own roaring voice, adding even more metal mayhem to the games. We’ve laid down over 350 mind-melting voice lines, and players will feel the thunder as we command during the battles. We have tanks, we have warships, and we are ready for Wargaming Metal Fest!”
Dave Mustaine, the frontman of Megadeth.
