Sabaton team up with World of Tanks for Spirit of War event
Swedish metal titans Sabaton are teaming up with popular MMO game World of Tanks.
Announced today, the band will be part of the Spirit of War event, which will find players battling for the first-ever Tier IX Premium tank called the Strv K. The vehicle will feature a special voiceover from Sabaton vocalist Joakim Brodén. To promote the event, the band released the music video for their track “Steel Commanders (feat. Tina Guo).
Brodén said this about the band’s collaboration with World of Tanks:
“It’s been a great experience working with the World of Tanks and Wargaming guys on this huge project. Together, we made an epic music video for ‘Steel Commanders’ and it’s the perfect way to kick off our massive collaboration. We’re proud to be part of this brand new in-game event that features the first-ever Tier IX Premium tank as the ultimate prize, as well as us as crew members!”
World of Tanks publishing director Max Chuvalov said this about the forthcoming event:
“We’ve really enjoyed working with the Sabaton guys and we’re happy to have them onboard this project. Our players love their music, and we complement each other as we are both fascinated with military history. Plus, we hope the new tune will inspire tankers to go that extra mile for the victory.”
The Spirit of War event will run from August 27 through September 6. More information about World of Tanks can be found here.
