At Wargaming, their affection for war games coexists with their deep aversion to real conflicts. This matter strikes a chord, given that one of their studios operates in Kyiv, where dedicated teams tirelessly work on projects like World of Tanks, despite the ongoing hardships their homeland endures.
Over the past eighteen months, Wargaming has been actively involved in supporting Ukrainian civilians. Their contributions have been substantial, including a one million-dollar donation for medical aid and equipment within the first week of the conflict, along with a $100,000 contribution to assist the victims of the Kakhovka disaster. In addition, hundreds of their employees have voluntarily contributed, organizing an internal fundraising campaign that amassed 200,000 euros to purchase ambulances for Ukrainian healthcare providers.
Their unwavering belief in the strength of unity fuels their commitment to further action. Presently, they extend an invitation to their gaming community to stand together in supporting those affected by the war through their extensive charitable endeavor, known as WargamingUnited.
Effective immediately, Wargaming calls upon the player base across six of their games, which include World of Tanks, World of Tanks Blitz, World of Tanks Modern Armor, World of Warships, World of Warships: Legends, and World of Warplanes, to rally around this global initiative. Each of these games will feature special Ukraine-themed bundles containing custom elements crafted by the talented artists at Wargaming Kyiv studio. With these time-limited offers, players can not only aid those in distress but also receive valuable in-game rewards, all while expressing their solidarity.
Wargaming is fully committed to making a difference. They pledge to donate 100% of the proceeds from every “WargamingUnited” bundle* to UNITED24, Ukraine’s official fundraising platform. These funds will be used to acquire C-type ambulances, specialized vehicles equipped with essential medical equipment such as defibrillators, cardiac monitors, oxygen tanks, and artificial lung ventilator devices. These vehicles are vital in keeping the injured alive until they can reach an operating room, thereby potentially saving hundreds of lives.
These Ukraine-themed bundles will be available for purchase from October 18th until November 1st.
