November 29th, 2024— Gear up for the holidays! Wargaming, the award-winning developer and publisher, announced today that global action star Jason Statham is this season’s Ambassador for World of Tanks Holiday Ops 2025 event. Known for his iconic roles in blockbuster films like The Meg, The Transporter, the Fast & Furious franchise, and more, Statham will bring his rugged persona and sharp one-liners to this most anticipated World of Tanks event, delivering cheer and the biggest gifts for tankers around the globe.
The annual Holiday Ops 2025 kicks off on December 6th and ends on January 13th, 2025. This year promises a Holiday Ops experience like never before, featuring the newly updated and beloved festive hangar where players will be given special assignments and battle missions to earn rewards from Jason Statham himself.
The new live-action trailer begins with Santa being surrounded by a gang of bad guys, but things take a sudden turn when he gets accidently punched in the face during the fight scene. Enter his stunt double: movie star Jason Statham—brutal, stylish, and ready to take charge. Yet, the project doesn’t have the punch he’s famous for, so Statham takes full control. Watch as he commands the set, transforming an average holiday movie into a full-throttle epic.
“I have driven almost every type of vehicle in my career, but blasting around in a tank is the most exhilarating," says Jason Statham. "That is why I've teamed up with Wargaming to be World of Tanks' newest Holiday Ops Ambassador, and I’m more than up for the challenge. It’s a great opportunity to bring some festive fun and a bit of high-stakes action to players all over the world.”
The holiday events will kick off on December 6th, 2024, and run through January 13th, 2025, giving tankers over a full month to earn a variety of rewards and surprises.
