Get Ready for the Ultimate Peaky Blinders Experience in World of Tanks – Tommy Shelby Takes the Lead!

Nearly three years after Peaky Blinders wrapped up its nine-season run, the gritty world of gangsters, razor blades, and power struggles is making a return — but this time, it’s making a dramatic leap into the virtual world. World of Tanks, the popular MMO game, has announced an exciting new partnership with Banijay Rights to launch the Peaky Blinders Battle Pass Special, a limited-time in-game event that promises a unique blend of action and nostalgia for fans of the show. Set to go live on March 20 and run through March 31, this new event will allow players to immerse themselves in the world of Peaky Blinders in a way they’ve never experienced before.

What’s In Store for Gamers?

The special Battle Pass will be headlined by none other than the iconic Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy), the ruthless leader of the Shelby crime family. Players can unlock a variety of exclusive Peaky Blinders-themed rewards, including four other beloved characters from the series. The ultimate completion prize? The coveted Tier IX Premium French Medium tank, Chart Murat, customized in the “Tommy 3D style” — a unique, thematic touch that will undoubtedly excite Peaky Blinders fans and tank enthusiasts alike.

This collaboration marks an unexpected but exciting crossover between the world of Peaky Blinders and online gaming, proving that the show’s impact continues to resonate with audiences beyond traditional media. Fans of the series can now take their love for the Shelby family to a whole new level, taking charge of tanks and navigating the game’s intense battles, all while donning the signature style of Thomas Shelby and his notorious crew.

Peaky Blinders’ Legacy

Since its debut in 2013, Peaky Blinders has captivated audiences with its gripping portrayal of a Birmingham-based crime family in post-World War I England. The show, which expertly blends historical events with fictional storytelling, has garnered both critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase. It won a BAFTA for Best Drama Series in 2018, and Murphy’s portrayal of Thomas Shelby earned him multiple award nominations, including for his final season performance.

The series’ acclaim continues to be reflected in its Rotten Tomatoes ratings, with Seasons 3 and 6 achieving a perfect 100%, and even the lower-rated Season 5 earning a Certified Fresh score of 86%. The show’s success is built on its gritty realism, complex characters, and unforgettable performances, particularly from Murphy, whose role as Thomas Shelby remains one of his most iconic.

A Glimpse Into the Future: The Peaky Blinders Movie

Fans of the show may also be excited to know that a Peaky Blinders movie is already in the works, with Murphy set to reprise his role as Thomas Shelby. The film, which wrapped production last year, will also feature Stephen Graham, who will return as the ever-menacing character of Andrew. However, it’s the addition of new stars that has the most people talking. Rebecca Ferguson, known for her roles in Mission: Impossible and Silo, will be joining the Peaky Blinders universe, alongside Barry Keoghan, Tim Roth, and others. This exciting ensemble casts a promising light on what’s to come for the Peaky Blinders franchise.

The Peaky Blinders Universe Continues to Grow

As the Peaky Blinders universe continues to expand, it’s clear that the series’ cultural influence is only getting stronger. Whether through in-game events like the World of Tanks Battle Pass Special, or the highly anticipated film, the legacy of the Shelby family is far from over. Fans can dive into the new in-game event starting March 20, and if they haven’t already, binge-watch the show on Netflix to revisit the world of the Shelbys before the next chapter unfolds.

Stay tuned to Collider for updates, and prepare for a new kind of battle — one where tanks and the Shelby family rule the day.
