======================================================================

Developer Wargaming has launched a brand new charity initiative called 
WargamingUnited with the aim to raise money for Ukraine. 

Amid the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, the developer behind World 
of Tanks has announced its new scheme to raise funds specifically for 
purchasing new ambulances for Ukrainian medics. 

Starting October 18 to November 1, gamers will be able to purchase special 
Ukraine-themed bundles for World of Tanks , World of Tanks Blitz , World of 
Tanks Modern Armor , World of Warships , World of Warships: Legends , and 
World of Warplanes. 

Each bundle will have customization elements crafted by Wargaming's artists 
at its Kyiv studio, depicting the Ukrainian flag colors, yellow and blue, 
across the respective games. 

"Wargaming will donate 100% of the purchase price of each WargamingUnited 
bundle towards Medical Aid via UNITED24, Ukraine's official fundraising 
platform, to go toward the purchase of Type C ambulances needed to save 
lives," the studio explained. 

For World of Tank s, players will gain the 50TP Resilient, a unique Tier VIII 
Premium heavy tank, as well as theResilient camouflage, decals, and 
inscription that can be equipped and displayed in their game. 

The Spirit of Unity flag, the Ukraine patch, and the Resilient camouflage are 
available for World of Warships , while World of Tanks Blitz has two bundles 
on offer, both of which include resources and such unique items as a profile 
background, camouflage, and an avatar. 

For more details on the rest of the bundles, you can head over to the 
official WargamingUnited website . 

As of writing over 36,000 bundles have been purchased across each game, 
although it's unclear how much money this is in total raised for the charity. 

Russia's invasion sparked a ton of support for Ukraine within the games 
industry, with many companies and game development studios raising funds and 
making donations for those affected. 

Last year, Microsoft and PlayStation halted sales in Russia, while EA put a 
stop to sales in the country and removed Russian teams from FIFA 22 and NHL 
22 . Amazon Games also stopped the Russian localization of its MMO New World 
..
