The battlefield is set as Metal Fest storms in with heavy artillery and headbanging tunes.

Get ready to rev your engines and crank up the distortion, metalheads! Metal Fest 2026 is crashing into World Of Tanks Modern Armor, and it’s packing a punch with two incendiary Acts that’ll leave you begging for more. Kicking off on August 4, the first Act features none other than the titans of modern metal, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, who are bringing their brutal sound to the battlefield. From exclusive tanks to spine-rattling challenges, this event promises an experience that’s more electrifying than a live show in a packed stadium.

The FFDP Knucklehead Tank is the star of this armored onslaught, embodying the ferocity of the band with its impenetrable armor and a burst-fire weapon that screams heavy metal. Topped with a towering set of brass knuckles and adorned with battle-worn art, this tank is a tribute to FFDP’s relentless spirit. And if that wasn’t enough, every time you hop into this beast, you’ll be blasted with their chart-busting anthem, “Eye Of The Storm,” from their freshly dropped album, “Legacy.”

But there’s more to this fest than just heavy artillery and hard-hitting tunes. The event will also unveil the Iron Fist Tank Destroyer, a sinister-looking machine that channels the darker vibes of FFDP with claw marks and blood-red handprints. This beast is armed to the teeth with oversized missiles, and it’s ready to wreak havoc while “Trouble” plays in the background, setting the mood for some serious carnage.

Leading the charge is the legendary Knucklehead mascot, now a fully voiced 3D Commander thanks to the vocal prowess of Ivan Moody. “Celebrating 20 years as a band, ‘Legacy’ is finally out in the world, and now fans get to experience FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH in World Of Tanks Modern Armor. That’s a perfect storm,” Moody declares, hinting at the plethora of Easter eggs and surprises hidden within the game. Metalheads, this is your chance to mosh on the virtual battlefield.

Returning to fan-favorite status is the “Rush The Stage” mode, an adrenaline-pumping 7v7 battle that takes place on a Metal Fest-themed Ghost Town map. With stationary Taco Trucks to destroy for bonus medals and a festival atmosphere that’s second to none, you’ll feel like you’re right in the heart of the action. The mosh pit opens on August 4, so get ready to unleash hell in World Of Tanks Modern Armor Metal Fest 2026.
