From December 2 to December 26, World of Tanks Blitz players can enjoy the “Deadmau5 in the House” event, which includes:
- The Mau5tank: A Deadmau5-themed tank loaded with lasers, speakers, lights, and music-making gear.
- Exclusive Camos: Including the Blink camo, inspired by Deadmau5’s Nyanborghini Purracan (his Lamborghini with Nyan Cat decals).

- Special Quests: Two new Deadmau5-inspired challenges to complete during the event.
The collaboration also includes an online merch drop starting November 29, featuring limited-edition items themed around Deadmau5 and the game.
“World of Tanks Blitz has always been wild, rebellious, and fearless,” said Wargaming’s Thaine Lyman. “Deadmau5 brings his electrifying style, shaking up our holiday festivities with this exciting collaboration.”
Familiars follows Deadmau5’s recent releases, including the single Jaded and his Some EP. Earlier this year, he also made headlines with criticisms of Spotify’s business model, emphasizing the value of artistic labor.
