SummerSlam brings an exclusive season pass featuring WWE inspired tanks, new garages to store your vehicles in, legendary collectible crews, and more.

As part of Season 1’s content, players will have the opportunity to command five legendary Superstar Collector tanks. These have been inspired by iconic WWE Superstars past and present, and these are “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Becky Lynch, The Undertake, Andre the Giant, and Sgt. Slaughter.

Players can also experience a redesigned WWE garage complete with Superstar introductions for each vehicle, unique visuals for their tanks, and crew chests comprising the five Superstars listed above.

Finally, for July, Commander Mode — the RTS game type that offers a different angle in vehicular combat — makes its return for SummerSlam, so you can test your skills and tactics in a new light.

August will see the arrival of more famous WWE wrestlers, including Roman Reigns, Ric Flair, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, and Shawn Michaels. Crew chests and tanks based on these iconic stars will be available in the garage next month. There’s plenty more to look forward to if you’re a huge World of Tanks fan.
