War Thunder Mobile (formerly known as War Thunder Edge[1]) is a game produced by Gaijin Entertainment and publicly released on August 15, 2023. It was produced as the mobile format of the game War Thunder. [2][3]
The game consists of three modes, similar to the original: Ground, Air, and Naval. With vehicles ranging from the Second World War to contemporary vehicles. Similar to the main game, there is a tech tree system, having to unlock one vehicle to unlock the next one. Players are able to create a line-up on the Aviation and Ground modes, managing to mix different nations between different types of vehicles. As of October 2025, there is not any way to mix different modes of gameplay, but you are able to spawn bombers and fighters depending on your score in the battle. War Thunder Mobile features ground vehicle trees for the USA, USSR, Germany, and China, as well as some misceallaenous vehicles from Japan, Italy, Sweden, France, and UK, along with a few vehicles from other countries; ships from the USA, UK, Germany, USSR, Japan, and few ships from other countries; and planes from the USA, Germany, Japan, and USSR, along with a few planes from other countries.
Trophies
The M4A1 is one of the 3 optional tanks that you can start out with in WT Mobile.
A gacha system to unlock vehicles for the 3 modes is updated per month with the updates.[4] If a player missed the reward for former updates, another gacha to unlock former rewards runs for 7 days,[5] after the end of the leaderboard. There is always a big trophy (containing premium versions of the two top-tier vehicles in the medium trophy, and used to contain a higher rank platoon or vehicle), and a medium trophy (used to contain a lower to mid-rank platoon, currently contains common rarity versions of the 2 top-tier vehicles). Other rewards are obtainable as well through the gacha system in the trophies, including supplies, in-game currency, and more "warbonds," which used to open the medium and big trophies.
War Thunder Mobile began as an Open Beta test on 27 March 2023.[6] The first major update for the beta was the called "Symphony of Fire", adding a new map, new vehicles and options to customize the UI.
The final update of the Beta test was the "Warzone Alliance,” adding the option to play in a squad with your friends and a crew system that was easy to understand, as well as more vehicles being added to Ground and Naval.
On August 15, 2023, the game was launched globally, and players could receive special vehicles in the first week of playing, those being a French M4A4 medium tank and the USS Nicholas [clarification needed].[7]
During the following years after the game's release, most of the updates only added new vehicles and customization items, with new maps being rarely added into the game. However, the "Stalingrad Map" was added into the game for the Christmas Celebration and New Year Event.[8]
Seasons
War Thunder Mobile has gone through many different "seasons," which are events/updates that last for 30 days that bring a mix of new missions, vehicles, maps, aesthetics, UI changes, gamemodes, and rewards. Not all of these things come in every season, but there is always two new vehicles for each gamemode (in prior years there were 2 different platoons of 4 vehicles for the ground mode, but this has changed after the "Tanks 2.0" update), and new missions and rewards.[9]
Mini-Seasons
There may be what are called "mini-seasons" within the main 30-day season that contain different rewards, missions, and often new vehicles along with recurring vehicles from the previous run of the mini-season. These mini-seasons are often around holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Lunar New Year, and Valentines Day, and may bring a holiday-themed event gamemode. There may be multiple mini-seasons within the main season. [9]
