Historic in-game events and missions roll out with Christopher Nolan’s epic drama, DUNKIRK
In conjunction with Warner Bros. and alongside the WWII action thriller DUNKIRK, Wargaming is kicking off the commemoration with a series of history-based activities and bundles. The “Remember Dunkirk” content will be available in all three of the Wargaming “Battle Trilogy” of video games beginning July 14th. The robust program encompasses World of Tanks (PC & Console), World of Warships, and World of Warplanes.
“The historic ‘Miracle of Dunkirk’, like many of the events of World War II, continues to impact and inform our battle-focused games,” stated Erik Whiteford, Head of Marketing, Wargaming America, “We are inspired by this momentous military operation and are excited to be in a partnership with Warner Brothers for Christopher Nolan’s highly-anticipated action thriller DUNKIRK.”
Wargaming’s “Remember Dunkirk” activity debuts this Friday, July 14th. A full series of “Remember Dunkirk” themed missions will take over the tank battlefields of World of Tanks and combat-filled skies of World of Warplanes. Players can compete to earn “Remember Dunkirk” themed vehicles and accumulate experience points (XP) that are redeemable for in-game gear, including special camouflage and more.
The battles expand on July 19th, as the “Remember Dunkirk” missions embark onto the high seas in World of Warships. A series of challenging missions will give warship commanders the opportunity to earn Dunkirk-themed containers and flags, as well as the warship HMS Gallant, a British destroyer that played a significant role in the heroic evacuation.
