The last full season was in 2020. They’ve had a couple tests since and keep talking about it and did say it will come back in 2025, so we’ll see.

half of the year have passed… When would it mostly start?
This is the laters info they have given:
(CM Covert Disclosures No.4: Information & Q&A with War Thunder Game Director, Viacheslav Bulannikov!)
as well as this:
(Community Update No.6: Updating You On Some Things You Can Expect in the Near Future!)
The mode has been disabled for a few years now and they want to re-introduce it but likely as something new and different. No other news about it yet as far as i know.

Also this:
“This scenario will be one of the missions in the “Aerial Warfare” operations, one of which will feature in the future in World War Mode. In Aerial Warfare, players will only have access to aircraft (ground vehicles will be AI), and the focus will be on aerial combat and the completion of strategic objectives. We’ll tell you more about Aerial Warfare at a later date!” (link)

Another month has passed… I have literally grinded 70% through Naval tech and 80% through SPAA tech and 60% of all spitfire this month and World war mode isn’t out or any rumours coming…

I am still waiting, but do you know how many players it has in the World War mode?
Still no mention of it and 2025 is going to end in 3 months
indeed… maybe at Christmas?
lol not even in 2026
It october maybe at Halloween?
Never not even in 2026
Seasonal event that was long forgotten.
Is it fun though?
Well technically the company said it would in one of those Q&As. I just repeated the info we’d gotten upthread (which isn’t much).
I didn’t hate it as much as some. The game needed a proper squadron v squadron layer with historical lineups, and always has. But I’ve said many times here imho the collaboration tools it needed to actually work (like a proper alliance chat and the ability to make inter-squadron affiliations) just aren’t there in this game, and tbh most people just played it for the vehicles which are now all in the battlepasses instead.
If they do what they said they’d do and make the next one air-only it’ll be very different from the previous ones anyway, I suspect. Only thing they’d keep would be the name.
What’s the odds of it actually happening this year…?
It was just that they’d let you know more in 2025, it wasn’t a definite ‘gonna have it’, and it was just a hope.
It was a cool idea, and I hope it does get built on.
They’re setting something up with the SEAD and bombing stuff. I can’t say I see clearly how it’ll work yet but it’ll very different than any WWM before (because it’ll be late game jet focussed, not WW2 ground focussed). Whatever that is by way of an event could still happen before the end of the year, or early in the next.
The big problem with “WWM” is in the name, specifically “mode”. It’s not a mode, it’s just a series of (very) occasional complex in-game faction v faction events.

Maybe they should call it a Test Mode possibly.
I’d like to see those field guns they tested in that other PvE mode setup brought in, but also bring back the old Commander with thier tank platoon taking the field.
