Tankers have three months to enjoy the aesthetics, learn the story of the fantastic city, earn, and spend local currency - Kitcoins - and research three unique high tier seasonal tanks: Magnate, Fixer, Regressor.
To familiarize oneself with the new Retrotopia lifestyle and to become the star of the Season, players need skills, an unstoppable will to win and, of course, a professional coach. World of Tanks Blitz team has found an ultimate mentor — Lukas Podolski, a world football star and renowned goal scorer.

By successfully completing the stages, players will unlock a host of rewards directly from Lukas Podolski which include an avatar, Powerful Shotprofile background, a Football Shirt Collectible Item with Lukas signature, a special football themed camouflage, and much more.
"Being featured in a game with millions of players is fantastic”, said Lukas Podolski. “World of Tanks Blitz offers fun and entertainment, breaking boundaries along the way. I have prepared a special quest for tankers where they can win exclusive prizes from me, so I can’t wait to see the players' reaction to my appearance in the game, and I'm confident they will have a blast."
“We are constantly busy with creating new experiences for our players and experimenting with different themes and settings”, said Ilya Goncharov, WoT Blitz Content Creator Lead. “With Season 1 we are bringing a whole new world where technology, luxury, and elegance blend.
