World of Tanks is getting some surprising guest stars with the next Battle Pass Special. Duke Nukem and Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft will be getting their own personalized tanks as they headline two separate Heroes’ Paths chapters from July 10 to July 21. According the launch trailer below, Lara’s chapter will have 30 stages while Duke’s will have 40.
Keeley Hawes is reprising her role as Lara Croft from a handful of Tomb Raider games that were released before the 2013 reboot, as well as Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Although Lara isn’t known for using a tank, her vehicle of choice in this game is a Tier VIII U.S. versatile medium tank that comes with a lot of Lara’s archeology tools including her hatchet, ropes, cables, a winch, and more.
Jon St. John–the original and only voice of Duke Nukem–is also stepping back into his iconic role for this guest appearance. Unlike Lara, Duke riding in a tank feels very much in character. His ride is a nuclear-powered TS-6, a Tier IX U.S. assault heavy tank. Understandably, it comes with a lot of Duke’s heavy ordinance including laser machine guns, grenade launchers, and other “enhanced weapons systems.”
