You can get onto “Tanki Classic” only through the announcement window in the main game lobby.
You will only have access if you are an early access participant.
The special Early Access offers for “Tanki Classic” were only available for a limited time. With the start of the mass testing phase, we are bringing these special offers back on sale. This is your chance to become a part of the legendary “Tanki Classic” project ahead of everyone else!
This is a test version of the game. It is possible to encounter bugs, issues, unfinished features, and anomalies.
During the test, we will restart the game several times and even temporarily pause the testing process.
We will also wipe the test server database several times, which will reset all your progress.
For testing Tanki Classic, we use new server infrastructure. This may cause unstable server performance during the first weeks of testing. We will be configuring and fixing everything.
No. Early access will be announced separately, 2 weeks before the game is released. You will be able to get access to the game earlier than anybody else and progress your account earlier than others.
Alongside the launch of Tanki Classic testing, we are adding a special “Development Plans” section to the project’s website. From now on, this section will be the primary, first-source of information on the development of the Tanki Classic project.
There, we will announce the key development areas of the project earlier than anywhere else.
Please note: the presented plans reflect our current goals and may be adjusted based on your feedback and voting results.
In the future, we will launch the promised polls for the game mechanics. You, the players, will define the future of “Tanki Classic!”
Feedback can be left on the forum topic of this news.
It’s time to sum things up and thank the most dedicated helpers of Tanki Online for their selfless work. Those who have been working hard for the entire year for the good of the project. They are our pride, the Best Helpers of 2025.
These tankers made the greatest contribution to the development of the game in 2025: moderating the game resources, keeping information up to date across all platforms, testing updates, reviewing reports, and catching cheaters.
This year has been bright and full of action: exciting events, major updates, intense battles, and countless memorable moments. You became an essential part of everything that happened, and we kept working hard to make the game even better for you.
A new year means new goals, new victories, and new opportunities. Together, we’re ready to reach new heights!
May 2026 bring you inspiration, joyful discoveries, cozy moments with loved ones, and lots of reasons to smile. We wish you health, happiness, good luck, and success both in the game and in real life!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄✨

Contents:
Significantly increases the damage and explostion radius of a Grenade in case of a combo shot. For the combo shot, you must hit your own Grenade with a Railgun shot.
A successful combo detonation of a Grenade requires many conditions to align. The enemy must be at the right distance, the Grenade must be ready, and the turret must be charged. This rarely happens. It’s even rarer to successfully hit the Grenade to trigger the detonation. With this Augment, your efforts will be rewarded many times over.
All you need is one successful hit. Just one successful hit and the enemy’s will shall be shattered.

Enhances key turret parameters without introducing new functions.
This premium augment is the result of a breakthrough research program integrating diamond crystals into the turret’s design. Diamond-coated barrel lining increases operational pressure during fire. Diamond bearings enhance turret’s rotation efficiency. Diamond semiconductors boost the targeting system’s computational performance. The only downside? Its stunning craftsmanship remains hidden from view inside the turret.
Increases turret damage when the tank has minimal damage.
A spare battery for the enhanced damage modulator, connected in parallel to the primary power source via an AI-controlled management system. This system safely boosts turret damage beyond the modulator’s standard capabilities, but only if the tank’s structural integrity remains intact. If the AI detects that the hull has been compromised, the spare battery will immediately shut down — all to prevent warranty claims, of course.
In celebration of Black Friday, they are filled with a variety of skins!

This skin will be a true highlight for any collection and another step towards a complete steampunk lineup.

We have already found out which 16 teams will proceed to the next stage, where they will be fighting for the 8 places in the final stage where the fate of the real cash prize, unique paints, and modules offering 20–30% protection from all turrets will be determined!
Event dates: from November 21st, 2 AM UTC, till December 23rd, 2 AM UTC.
The Winter eSports TankiFund is a prize pool of Rubies that increases when players purchase any of the 3 main special offers.
At the end of the Winter eSports TankiFund event, the fund will be divided equally among the winners of the giveaway.
There are several ways to receive prizes in this event:
Among all players who have purchased at least one of the 3 main special offers, a number of winners will be randomly selected to receive equal shares of the accumulated TankiFund.
All players who have purchased at least one of the 3 main special offers will receive additional bonuses, depending on the size of the fund.
A special reward line is available for those who purchase the «Booster» special offer (only available to event participants).
During the event, 3 main special offers will be available in the Shop. By purchasing any of them, you automatically become a participant of the TankiFund.
The more bundles you purchase, the higher your chances of receiving a share of the Winter eSports TankiFund!
In the Winter eSports TankiFund, you can level up your personal progress by purchasing the “Booster” special offer.
Booster is a special offer that allows you to receive rewards from the personal progress bar. One Booster purchase grants one unit of energy, which increases your personal progress level by 1.
Each Booster you buy unlocks a new reward level for you. In total, there are 30 levels with valuable prizes.
All prizes — Rubies and additional bonuses will be credited after the end of the tournament and after the winners of the draw are determined.
With every 8000 Rubies added to the fund, the number of giveaway winners increases by 1. All winners of the draw will receive equal shares of the Winter eSports TankiFund, and some of you may instantly become truly rich!
Winners of the draw are players randomly chosen from among those who have purchased the event’s special offers. The selection of participants will take place on December 23rd at 12 PM UTC. The number of winners depends on the total number of special offers purchased.
You will be able to track the growth of the fund and the number of giveaway participants on the special event website. The fund will start to grow only after the first purchase is made. For now, there are 0 Rubies in it.
Every player who buys at least one of the special offers receives additional bonuses depending on the size of the fund. Every time the amount increases by 1 million Rubies, the Winter eSports TankiFund moves to a new level.

The event is held in accordance with the Regulations and General Rules for Promotions and Contests.
The HD skins series is a collection of exclusive visuals for different tanks, each of which has a unique look.
The HD version of Magnum features not only improved detail, but also a unique animation that even the most elaborate versions like Steampunk don’t have.
Now, when firing, the breech block moves back, and a shell casing is ejected from the port.
From November 21st, the turret visuals will update to the HD version automatically and for free for all of its owners.
