'World of Warships: Legends' (ALL) Celebrates Halloween With New Content

by Rainier on Oct. 4, 2019 @ 12:10 a.m. PDT

World of Warships: Legends is a free-to-play naval action MMO based on sea battles of the 20th century that complete the "World of" war trilogy.

Keeping with the best traditions of the series, World of Warships will offer a straightforward interface, easy-to-use controls, and a common economic system that will allow players to distribute resources between the three games for the ultimate progress in each of them.

The large assortment of available warships will give various tactical opportunities, as all the machines have a unique combination of firepower, speed, armor, and endurance. Various naval maps with changing weather conditions will enrich the gameplay, and the realistic graphics will transport players into the epic battles that changed the course of human history.

You will move through tiers of ships trying out various legendary vehicles in the process and training your commanders to best accommodate available sets of weaponry and hull characteristics. Choose from two types of shells, launch torpedoes and outsmart your opponents. If you like blunt force, several ships will cater to your interests as well, be it destroyers that can stealthily approach the enemies or battleships with high risk/high reward salvos, which take a long time to reload, but wreak havoc if targeted well. Cruisers are the jacks of all trades that will be appreciated by players looking for a middle ground. 

When it comes to nations, World of Warships currently has 10 represented in the game. Major ones are: Japan, USA, USSR, Germany, Britain and France. There are also selected vehicles available for the Pan-Asian, Polish, Italian and Commonwealth navies. The number of ships in the game is always growing and you should be able to find something suitable to your playstyle pretty easily.


World of Warships: Legends celebrates Halloween early with a new campaign containing a free premium ship as a reward, and their upcoming first-ever PvE Operation—Saving TransylvaniaPlayers have a lot to look forward to in World of Warships: Legends this October. 

The new Wicked Waves Campaign features the Jackal, a steampunk war machine with a unique playstyle. Jackal is the free final reward of the campaign. As a Tier III German Battleship, Jackal carries twelve powerful guns all over the ship in a layout used in early battleship designs. Combined with solid armor, the Jackal is a surprisingly flexible Tier III battleship. On the way to earning her, players will receive plenty of other rewards and Halloween containers to help them in-game.

Players with Admiralty backing will receive extra rewards and a unique event commander. Featured as a German Battleship Commander, Henry J. Hide is the perfect partner to the Jackal! Clever references aside, Hide brings new and unique skills to further optimize the Jackal, making them the perfect dynamic duo. There are 45 levels in the Halloween campaign and two weeks to complete it. Jackal, Hide, and the other rewards are permanent, so go have fun and get yourself these unique items.

However, there’s more to Halloween than events and steampunk ships…

Starting October 26th, World of Warships: Legends will allow players to take part in a special event. After selecting one of three event warships and their commander partners, players can take part in a cooperative operation where they must defend the Transylvania, a ship set to save Halloween! Things will quickly go downhill, as players will be fighting against a swarm of monstrous zombie ships! There are special rewards for participating in the mission based on how many objectives players complete. Earn more Halloween containers, premium account time, and coveted universal commendations.

There will be more Halloween themed commanders and ships available in the in-game store. Some of them will only be available during the Halloween season. Event containers will have more items too, holding anything from various boosters to universal commendations for your commanders, these containers also give players a chance to receive permanent Halloween camouflage for the Wakatake or the St. Louis.

There are 7 tiers of ships in total and you begin at tier I with late XIX to early XX century cruisers. Vehicle tiers can be separated in two distinct timelines - tiers I-IV belong to the "dreadnought era", while everything from tier V and above is grouping the WWII ships.  After playing several battles with them and getting acquainted with controls and basic mechanics, you'll move over to tier II cruisers, that are faster, better armed, more sturdy and have a choice of armament (high-explosive or armor-piercing shells). From there you'll be able to branch out into the destroyers which are all about stealth and high risk-high reward gameplay. Tier III will allow you to try out the battleships which bring huge salvos and armor, yet lack in maneuverability.

Maps are square with sizes range from 24x24 km to 18X18 km. Smaller maps are usually reserved for lower tiers, bigger - for higher. The maps are quite different both in size and island distribution. You will see all kinds of landscapes: from the icebergs of Arctic to the tropics of southeast Asia.

World of Warships: Legends is available on PS4 and Xbox One.
