Halloween Comes to War Thunder

Not only is it Halloween (the third most lucrative commercial holiday after Christmas and Valentines day), but it's the fourth anniversary of Gaijin's War simulator War Thunder.

To celebrate, Halloween specials are running from October 28th through November 2nd. Pilots and tankers can take part in special racing events; pilots can take the helm of the infamous soviet night bomber, the Polikarpov Po-2 of the ‘Night Witches’ squadron, as they race for first place, evading opponent turret fire. Similarly, fans of ground forces can race to the Sepulchre in an enchanted M18 Hellcat tank, operating without a commander or crew. Successful racers are rewarded with a Witches’ Cauldron, yielding unique decorative items such as pumpkins and witches hats that you can adorn your vehicle with, as well as boosters that improve earnings

As well as the festivities themselves, Gaijin are running discounts of up to 50% on vehicles, premium accounts, modifications and other in-game items. Players can look forward to new events, promotions and discounts every day, culminating in a great two-day celebration of War Thunder’s fourth anniversary on November 1st and 2nd.
