NICOSIA, Cyprus – April 3, 2025 – Wishlist Games is excited to announce that the highly anticipated Battle Path ‘Shadow Protocol’ is now available in Armored Warfare. This 4-month-long premium campaign offers players a deep dive into the world of mercenaries and modern warfare. The 50 levels of progression are each packed with high-stakes missions, powerful rewards, and no storyline restrictions, available now in Web Shop.
Check out the Launch Trailer for more information.
Shadow Protocol follows the classic format of previous Battle Paths and introduces two core themes: the legacy of mercenaries, and the past, the present and the future of warfare. The content is divided across three eras:
-
The Golden Age of Mercenaries (1960s–2000s)
-
Contemporary Conflicts (from the Caucasus to the Middle East)
-
Future Warfare (Pacific theater)
As usual, there are 3 brand-new vehicles created for this Battle Path:
-
T-64BV Mod.2022 Tier 8 Premium MBT for reaching Level 20
-
Borsuk Tier 10 Premium AFV with its new Repair Zone ability for reaching Level 35
-
KNIFV NLOS LPS Tier 10 Premium TD for reaching Level 50
Additionally, other valuable prizes can be obtained by progressing in the Battle Path:
-
M1A1 AIM Tier 8 Premium MBT for reaching Level 45.
-
Up to 30 Premium vehicles, as well as elite commanders and gold compensation through the mercenary loot crates.
-
Exclusive skins for mission completion, not available by any other means.
-
Expanded Battle Path Shop with epic skins, camouflages, paints and many more
What’s new
Shadow Protocol keeps the player-friendly pricing introduced with the Seahawks Battle Path — each level still costs only 4,500 Battle Coins. This time, the rewards are even better: nearly every second level includes a Battle Coin booster alongside other valuable items.
The mission system has also been revamped. Missions are now completable with any Tier 4–10 vehicle, and boosters are no longer tied to completing them. Players can progress at their own pace or take on tougher challenges for exclusive prizes:
-
Unique skins for completing each of the four mission chains
-
5 Mercenary Loot Crates per completed chain (first three)
-
15 Mercenary Loot Crates for finishing the final, most difficult chain
Accessing the Battle Path

-
Standard Pass – Includes access to the Battle Path
