'World of Warships: Legends' (ALL) Firepower Deluxe Edition Comes To Retail Later This Month

by Rainier on Nov. 5, 2019 @ 12:00 a.m. PST

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.

Wargaming and Gearbox Publishing are bringing World of Warships: Legends to retail stores with the Firepower Deluxe Edition!

The collectible Firepower Deluxe Edition of World of Warships: Legends will have a bunch of premium content for both new players and fans alike. It comes with a giant bundle of one month of premium account time and in-game currency, as well as four premium ships: Iwaki, Kamikaze, Texas, and Arizona. This content will provide players with a more exciting experience through unique ships and boosted progression, without disturbing game balance. 

World of Warships: Legends is a fully-adjusted console version of World of Warships, built from the ground up to feature fast, more intense gameplay. The game has attracted fans around the world and has two million active players. Players battle on the high seas with legendary warships from the early and mid-20th century, using giant cannons and torpedoes to destroy their opponents.

The Firepower Deluxe Edition will be available for both PS4 and Xbox One in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand on November 15, 2019 at $39.99 USD/€39.99/£34.99. 

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.
