It’s time to say “tanks” very much and a very “Merrydict Christmasbatch” to all of you, as Wargaming is kicking off the holiday season with a prestige-level gift for World of Tanks fans. Beginning December 5, the studio’s annual Holiday Ops event returns—and this year, it arrives with a certain charismatic British commander in tow. Wargaming has officially announced that Benedict Cumberbatch will headline Holiday Ops 2026, stepping into the game as its newest celebrity ambassador and playable tank commander, following in the footsteps of Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Milla Jovovich.
