When it comes to surprising yet simultaneously inspired crossovers, Valkyria Chronicles showing up in World of Tanks Blitz makes perfect sense. The former is a tactical RPG series about a fictional conflict not unlike World War II, which includes tanks, and the latter, of course, is all about tanks.

So it’s kind of a stroke of genius that two armored vehicles from Valkyria Chronicles are now live and available in the World of Tanks Blitz premium shop. The Edelweiss is a Tier VII Medium Tank that plays similarly to the T20, and is a tad slower but packs a bigger punch than the German Panther. It’s joined by the Nameless, a Tier VII Heavy Tank (seen in the hands of the bad guys in Valkyria Chronicles) that can tackles foes head on with thick front armor and impressive firepower.

Here’s a quick look at both of these tanks in action:

“We’re so excited to bring the world of Valkyria Chronicles to World of Tanks Blitz,” Takeshi Ozawa, Game Director of Valkyria Chronicles, said in a press release. “World of Tanks Blitz is the game which firmly conquered its niche in the mobile market. It is a hit with the players, and this is a great opportunity for us to unite both titles. We hope that players will like it.”

Both the Edelweiss and Nameless can be found in the Premium Shop for $24.99 each, a price that includes a Garage Slot so you don’t have to sell anything to make room for it. You can also grab both of them plus two Garage Slots for a 10 percent discount.

You’ll want to hurry though, as the tanks will only be available through September 30. Then it’s back to Europa and battling over Ragnite, we assume.
