How many years? 6! That\u2019s a lifetime in the world of mobile. The game has also achieved more than 137 million downloads in that time, and Wargaming has kept a constant flow of updates coming in these past 6 years that have made <em>World of Tanks Blitz<\/em> feel less like a scaled back experience of the original and more like a fully-featured spinoff with its own unique personality. To celebrate the 6th anniversary of <em>Blitz<\/em>, Wargaming has released a huge update to the game with one of the main features being improved graphics in a number of areas, which are explained in detail in the following trailer.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7irqXphAOz0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>While some of those graphical improvements seem small on their own, they really add up to a significant upgrade to the game\u2019s overall visuals and include a number of enhancements that fans have been asking for in some cases for years now. Fancy new visuals aren\u2019t all that\u2019s in the new version 7.0 update, as there\u2019s also new high-tier British light tanks that will be rolling into the battlefield as part of the update. There are also new special events including a \u201cBlitz Turns Six&#8221; event which kicks off tomorrow and runs through June 29th, as well as the arrival of a new time-limited mode on July 9th called Skirmish where \u201ctwo teams of 5 will battle it out on smaller maps which are perfect for intense and dynamic confrontations.&#8221; You can find out more about the new British tanks and the
