Wargaming announced Battle Pass Special: DOOM for World of Tanks on September 28, 2026, a crossover with id Software’s shooter series that runs from October 1 to October 12, according to the official announcement. On EU servers it starts October 1 at 06:30 CEST and ends October 12 at 05:30 CEST. On NA servers it runs from 6:30 AM Eastern on October 1 to 5:30 AM Eastern on October 12.
This is not just a cosmetic bundle. The DOOM characters arrive as crew members “with original, authentic voices and sounds,” tracks from the DOOM games play on the Battle Pass Special screen, and the event adds an “IDDQD” inscription and a medal.
What the Pass Includes
The pass has 40 Stages. Its Base Rewards include two DOOM crew members, the Doom Slayer and The Betrayer, each with a zero perk.
The top Improved Pass reward is the FV225 Collector with the “FV225 Mk. BFG” 3D style. Wargaming says the tank’s twin guns work like those on the researchable British two-barreled heavies, and it pitches the style as a twin-barreled BFG.
Bundles and Twitch Drops
Three more DOOM characters are sold in special bundles rather than earned:
- Classic Carnage: Doomguy, with Crew XP for 3 perks, plus 3D attachments including a Chaingun and a Classic HUD.
- Sentinel Command: Commander Thira, plus “Belly of the Beast” missions worth 800 components for Experimental Equipment, 20 Personal Reserves and 20 missions for x5 XP.
- Lazarus Labs: Samuel Hayden, plus “Hell on Mars” missions worth 500 bonds, training booklets and manuals, and 25 missions for x5 XP.
A separate “Fight Like Hell” set adds BFG9000, Cacodemon and Slayer Suit attachments. Wargaming’s post does not list prices for any of them.
Twitch Drops run in two windows: October 1 at 15:00 UTC to October 3 at 15:00 UTC across all participating creators, then October 7 at 10:00 UTC to October 9 at 10:00 UTC with Dakillzor, Skill4ltu, DezGamez and Monsteryoo. To receive them, your account must be linked to an email address and your World of Tanks and Twitch accounts must be linked.
What This Means for Players
The window is short: eleven days for 40 Stages. If you only want the Doom Slayer, he sits on the free Base Rewards track, while Doomguy, Thira and Hayden cost money. Link Twitch before October 1 so the first Drops window does not slip past.
id Software, DOOM’s developer, has made news elsewhere too: Quake Champions is no longer free-to-play. Crossovers are everywhere this month, from Spawn in Diablo Immortal to the Warzone toggle that hides crossover skins.
