Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Okay, we still need to reverse 180 degrees, which seems to be a mistake

Another possibility I’ve seen is this one:

  1. is the AH-6M
  2. is the C.202 (Ju 88 is also possible)
  3. is the T-80
  4. is the first quarter (Aug 5, 1939) NOTE: HMS Belfast was put in reserve on 1963 August 24th, so likely should be different. Could also be 15th Oct 1947, so 2nd quarter.

So the numbers would be 62801 and if we flip that it’s 10.8.26. Can also be 6202802, thus 20.8.2026.

It’s just that the fourth question is ambiguous (actually a good thing), so many answers fit!

Well me one thinks differently lol

No. As of 7 August 2026, that claim is not confirmed, so the “Yeah, this is true” answer in your screenshot appears to be incorrect.

I checked Gaijin’s current official material. There has been no announcement of a Polish research tree coming in the next major update. The most recent major update was Heavy Cavalry, released on 24 June, and Gaijin has not subsequently announced Poland as the new nation for the following update.

What Gaijin has officially announced is:

they plan to implement a standalone Korean research tree, containing vehicles from both South and North Korea.

That came directly from Community Update No. 8. Importantly, Gaijin did not give Korea a release update/date either.

There are plenty of community proposals for a Polish tree, and Poland certainly has enough interesting material for people to keep discussing it, but those are proposals/speculation rather than a Gaijin confirmation.

So I’d currently rank the claims like this:

Claim Status
Polish tech tree next major update No official evidence
Poland eventually getting more representation 🟡 Quite possible, but unspecified
Standalone Polish tree officially confirmed ❌ No
Standalone Korean tree planned Officially confirmed
Korean tree definitely next update 🟡 Not confirmed

So whoever got that ChatGPT answer in the screenshot got a fairly classic case of the AI taking a rumour and stamping CONFIRMED™ on it.

If Gaijin suddenly announces Poland during the coming dev-blog season, that would change matters, but right now you should not treat “Polish Tech Tree is coming in the next major update” as true.

I can also monitor the next-update dev blogs and tell you if Poland or Korea is actually announced.

I think it’s possible that gaijin intentionally created ambiguity and misled us in online search

That’s not the date it was retired( put in reserve)

That would be perfect to stir continuous engagement.

oh yeah, HMS Belfast was put in reserve on 1963 August 24th/28th/ December, but also 15th Oct 1947 (so 2). ==> 20.8.2026

Belfast was decommissioned on August 24th, and all the clues connected are 2026-8-8-24. Does this mean that silver box event will begin on 2026-8-8 and last for 24 days?


Maybe they count this as reserve?

That is one of the possible interpretations, we’ll have to see.

would make it the 3rd quarter, not much better either but possible at least

That would put it at the 30th, so maybe

Decomissioning is followed immediately by placing it in reserve is a lot of cases (if not sold immediately).

It depends on which of the two times they refer to:
{B6A01756-B627-4899-8538-239D685166F6}

{EC9B8D8E-6BF7-405F-B082-9E343ED76E23}

So either Q1 1963 (thus 10.08.2026) or Q4 1963 (which wont work)

You’ve got to love the different interpretations of ambiguous riddles. But I agree with your reasoning! It’s possible.

It’s the quarter of the month not year

Q1? huh?

Can’t wait for the answer that shows that it was supposed to be a simple fun thing for 5 minutes and not a complex interpretation problem that had many answers and ways to be solved

Quarter? 1/4?
I’ve already seen people on twitter doing mental gymnastics thinking a quarter is somehow 1/8 so we’ll do this;
12 months in year
Q1 = Month 1-3
Q2 = Month 4-6
Q3 = Month 7-9
Q4 = Month 10-12

It’s really poor wording in their post though, either they mean the quarter of the month the exact day falls in or the quarter (of the year) that the month is in.
