New gladiators are coming to a coliseum near you. Grab your tickets and take a seat, as this action-packed season has a lot in store!
As a warm-up for the main event, you can earn the World War II Tier X Centauro CC 45 t as the Level 100 tank in the Season Pass or jump right into the Cold War Escalation Era AMX 30B2 FORAD, lead by our new 3D gladiatrix Commander, Leaena, with the Ultimate Season Pass! You can find the full details in our dedicated season article.
May kicks off the main event, where players will be thrown into the arena to compete in the next community challenge that you won't want to miss! If that isn't enough, you can look forward to the World War II Italian tank destroyer Tech Tree line as the season finale.
So grab your swords and shields, and hop into your steel chariots. We'll see you in the arena!
Map: Return of Serene Coast
The coastal area is bounded by ocean and mountains. A railroad crosses the territory from north to south. Woody hills on the western flank are favorable for a swift attack. A straight road connecting the bases passes through a small town, which often becomes a contested piece of terrain.

Combined Player List and Map
During the battle, the player list and overview map screen have been combined into a single screen. This gives you access to all of the information on one screen without having to tab between different menus.
Adaptive Battle Music
Music is now more reactive to in-game events such as the number of teammates remaining, the time elapsed, and the player actively being in combat.
The following maps have received improved adaptive battle music in this update. We will continue improving additional maps with each season update.
Abbey
Airfield
Cliffs
Karelia
Mines
Steppes
Garage Improvements
In the garage, you will find the new game mode display in the upper-left corner. This will help make it more apparent which mode you are in while in the garage so you don't need to back out to the game mode menu to check.
The Commander's name box in the garage has received new border art to communicate the Commander's rarity.
Grey border: Standard
Red border: Premium
Blue border: Hero
The tank reel now supports displaying a promotional offer that you can view in the garage. It will link you to the store if it's something you'd like to purchase.
Cold War Matchmaking Improvements
We have updated the Cold War Matchmaking to address how it handles class substitution. We have adjusted the pick order for which class to use if the desired class is not available. This change moved light tanks to the last class to use as a substitution for medium tanks, heavy tanks, and tank destroyers in Cold War.
New Player Co-Op Map Selection Improvements
New players will initially have access to three maps to play while in Co-Op mode. They will unlock additional maps as they play more battles. Once they play 10 or more battles, they will have access to the full map rotation.

T28 HD Model Update
This season, the American Tier VIII T28 Tank Destroyer receives a tank model due to player request! This HD model update gives vast improvements to the appearance of the tank and provides slightly better overall frontal armor protection.
