World of Tanks – Halloween 2022 Preview: Pumpkin Bash PvP Mode Early Details

An early teaser for this year’s Halloween mode has been published:

This year’s Halloween event takes a bit of a departure from those of years past, this time in the form of a 15v15 PvP mode.

Tier VI–VIII vehicles will be able to participate across four familiar maps, which have all received a visual overhaul in the spirit of Halloween (specifically within the mode). According to the preview article, you can expect “mysterious fog, a full moon, and other changes to put you in the spooky spirit”.

The event will also feature unique rules/mechanics! To quote from the article, these will include:

Unusual victory conditions (you’ll love these)
Superpowers up for grabs on the battlefield
Special abilities activated before battle
Unlimited respawns
Free ammo and repairs

The rewards up for grabs include (but are not limited to!) bonds, five (5) unique 2D styles, and a “five-strong crew of charismatic characters”, with a crew member of each role. Notably, this crew will have two unique voiceover sets: one for the commander (Cordelia Astra) by herself, and one for when all five (5) members are assigned to the same vehicle. WoT Express has uploaded a preview for both sets:

The commander Cordelia Astra’s voiceover can be heard starting from 17:20 in the video, while the full 5-member crew voiceover can be heard starting from 25:52.

Likewise, WoT Express has also published previews of all five (5) 2D styles, which correspond to each of the crew members:
