The Tanks annual Holiday Ops is back for another year, and this time, action film star Jason Statham is leading the charge. World of Tanks is an MMO known for its hyperrealistic, historically accurate armored warfare vehicle representations. Surprisingly, it's also known for knowing how to host a fantastically festive holiday event.

'Tis the season to be merry, festive, and explosive as Holiday Ops 2025 arrives on the World of Tanks website. Led by action star Jason Statham, the MMO celebrates the holiday season by having players decorate and light up a village in festive cheer. The event will also see players completing special assignments issued by Jason, and receiving "Jason Statham-inspired" rewards. The event will also be packed with freebies and giveaways from decorations and tank styles to the brand new 3D attachments feature.

World Of Tanks Has A Long History With Celebrity Action Superstars

Past Guest Stars Include Legendary Action-Movie Names

Jason Statham is known for his intense and gritty action movies, so he seems right at home in World of Tanks. Statham's role in the game was announced with a hilarious six-minute trailer. The short film-like announcement video shows Statham arriving at the set of a Christmas movie and turning the dial up to 11. What starts as a Christmas-themed action movie filming session ends in high-octane fight sequences and multiple explosions, as is fitting for a Statham movie.

Jason Statham is an excellent choice to continue the tradition of action film icons to guest star in World of Tanks. Statham played a strong part in making the action genre popular again in the 2000s. The English actor and producer brings his charisma and charm to the World of Tanks holiday event.

I wouldn't expect Jason Statham and World of Tanks to work so well together, but I haven't laughed so hard from a trailer in a long time. Statham's deadpan delivery combined with the director's growing exacerbation is pure comedic genius. This year looks like it will bring another fun and exciting holiday event to World of Tanks, offering a break from the norm in the popular title.
