Renowned British football icon and film star Vinnie Jones takes a prominent role as the special guest for Holiday Ops 2024 across all World of Tanks games this season.

Jones headlines a captivating 5-minute film depicting his visit to Santa, whom he serves as the chief enforcer of the Naughty List. During this encounter, Jones informs Santa of his intention to resign from the role. Despite Santa’s attempts to convince him otherwise, Jones is resolute in pursuing a new job, citing various reasons, including the allure of the “sweet company car” – the newly introduced Patton the Tank, an American Tier IX special medium tank. Jones even takes Santa for a ride, enlightening him on why he is eager to become a tank commander in World of Tanks.

Holiday Ops 2024, launched globally on December 1, is available on World of Tanks PC, World of Tanks Blitz, and World of Tanks Modern Armor. This year’s event introduces double the enjoyment and rewards through two distinct paths: the Santa’s Helper Earn Challenge for personal achievements and the community-driven Holiday Op event. Each path offers unique rewards, spanning from themed cosmetics, boosters, and consumables to the formidable Charlemagne Premium tank.

Alena Terekhova, Publishing Director for World of Tanks Modern Armor, commends Jones for his “tough-guy charisma,” expressing how well it aligns with the new concept for the Holiday Ops 2024 event. She shares, “It was a pleasure to collaborate with him, and he was open to sharing his thoughts and ideas.”
