Peaky Blinders is no stranger to video games–we’ve already had VR and puzzle adventures based on the TV series–but for its next appearance, the crime series is joining forces with World of Tanks for some mechanized warfare. Developer Wargaming Group has announced a new battle pass that’ll be available for a limited time, and this one will deliver a variety of Peaky Blinders-themed rewards to players, as well as Tommy Shelby himself and several members of his family.
The Peaky Blinders battle pass will be available starting March 20 through March 31, and it’ll include five characters to unlock. Each character will be fully voiced, but it hasn’t been confirmed if the original actors are involved in this crossover.
Here’s the full list of characters you can unlock via the new battle pass:
- Thomas Shelby
- Arthur Shelby
- John Shelby
- Ada Shelby
- Michael Grey

The ultimate reward for this battle pass is the Tier 9: Premium French medium tank Char Murat. This is a World War I tank that has been given a Shelby makeover and it references the global conflict that three of the Shelby brothers took part in prior to the start of Peaky Blinders. There’ll also be new Peaky Blinders-themed decals, inscriptions, and a specially composed soundtrack inspired by the show.
While Peaky Blinders sounds like an odd fit for World of Tanks, it’s not unusual for the free-to-play game. Previous collaborations have involved rock band The Offspring and the WWE, and even Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger has been enlisted in the past to promote limited-time Holiday Ops events. In case you never saw it, Peaky Blinders is a British crime-drama series that ran six seasons from 2013 through to 2022.
Starring Cillian Murphy as Thomas Shelby, the show charted the rise of the Peaky Blinders street gang in Birmingham and their evolution into a well-oiled criminal syndicate. A film is also currently in the works.
