Update 1.28.1: Beyond Limits

[Echo]

Commanders!

Update 1.28.1: Beyond Limits introduces four reworked maps including the overhauled Airfield and the expanded version of Ensk for high-tier battles, four rebalanced TD branches, the brand-new Neon Dash mode for Arcade Cabinet, the new commendation system, and expanded WoT Plus benefits. The new Onslaught season begins, and Frontline is to return in two weeks.

World of Tanks servers for Update 1.28.1 will be available from:
EU: April 16, 2025, at 08:30 CEST (UTC+2)
NA: April 15, 2025, at 06:00 PT | 08:00 CT | 09:00 ET
ASIA: April 15, 2025, at 07:00 (UTC+8)

Improved Maps

Hit the enlarged (1,000×1,000 meter) and refurbished Ensk Region in battles where the top vehicle tier is VIII, IX, or X. Play on thoroughly reworked Airfield which now features a huge cave and a crusader castle, and check out the upgrades to Paris and the tweaks to Mines.
MORE DETAILS

Rebalanced Vehicles

Try out the rebalanced TDs from four branches topped off by the T110E4, the Object 268, the Jagdpanzer E 100 (with the Jageroo itself unaffected), and the Ho-Ri 3 (the latter the only one nerfed a bit). As usual, the number of modules has been decreased, module upgrade paths have been streamlined, and stock configurations have been enhanced for the reviewed vehicles.
COMPLETE SCOPE

Arcade Cabinet: Neon Dash Mode

From April 18 to 20 and from April 25 to 27, race through a futuristic course filled with stationary and moving obstacles in vehicles of any tier! Mess with up to 29 opponents by shooting energy impulses, and using Shield and Dash. Neon Dash offers special missions and a mode Progression that can be completed twice.
FULL RUN

Commendation System

The brand-new Commendation system is a way to give a thumbs-up to a teammate—for a heroic feat, a funny moment, nice behavior, or anything in between. You can receive some in return: Friendship sure can bloom on the battlefield!
