Joel Zimmerman, more popularly known as musical artist Deadmau5, is partnering with Wargaming‘s free-to-play game “World of Tanks Blitz” for an in-game holiday event.
The collaboration kicks off Tuesday with the release of Deadmau5’s new track “Familiars” in a trailer tied to the “World of Tanks Blitz” experience.
Per the description for the music video, “Deadmau5 escapes from his on-set reality, transforming into his iconic mau5head persona to take command of his controller tank. He embarks on a vibrant journey through the city, turning a dull urban landscape into a pulsating, colorful holiday metropolis.”
The collaboration continues Dec. 2 with the “pre-party,” leading into the main “deadmau5 in the House” event running through Dec. 26.
Throughout the Deadmau5 and “World of Tanks Blitz” experience, players will have access to several exclusive drops, including:
- mau5tank: a custom deadmau5 controller tank loaded with music making gear, speakers, lights, and laser effects
- set of unique camos, one of which – Blink camo – was inspired by deadmau5’s infamous Nyanborghini Purracan
- 3 exclusive masks featuring deamau5’ mau5head silhouette with special designs
- 2 new deadmau5-themed quests
“’World of Tanks Blitz’ has always been wild, rebellious and fearless,” Wargaming’s general manager at MS-1 Studio Thaine Lyman said. “This holiday, we’re shaking things up and giving our players a fresh twist on the season’s festivities. deadmau5 brings his electrifying style and injects a whole new vibe into ‘World of Tanks Blitz.’”
