Two years ago, our soccer mode made its return to celebrate the soccer frenzy going on in France through the summer. This year, we’re ready to celebrate the biggest footballing nations around the world (and England) gathering together in Russia to prove who’s the best. That means we’re bringing soccer mode back but with some extra additions and improvements over the mode that saw the light of day in 2016.

Our soccer mode kicks off on June 14, 02:00 PT | 04:00 CT | 07:00 ET , and will run until July 29, 04:20 PT | 06:20 CT | 07:20 ET !

Basic Rules

Just like two years ago, the mode will be 3v3 where only extra special maps and tanks will be used (more on that later). A winner will be announced if at the end of 7 minutes of play or if a team scores 3 goals, whichever comes first.

Not So Quick on the Draw

In case of a draw, a version of Golden Goal will play adding up to an extra four minutes for either team to bag the winner. If there is no goal scored during the additional minutes, the winners will be the first team to have 100 possession points in the enemy’s half.

Get Back Into Position

Not seen in the previous iteration, there will now be a kick-off after each goal. So whether you’re lucky enough to be on the scoresheet or you just missed a vital clearance, after each goal both teams start on an even keel as kick-off takes place.

Know Your Role

With the other additions made for this year’s mode, one of the biggest changes is the introduction of role-specific tanks. Each tank role has a special ability so you can really make the best of their strengths and these tanks will have differing stats to their Tech Tree counterparts.
