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 entered its console early access phase a little over a month ago (April 16th), and the Wargaming Saint Petersburg development team behind this effort is proud to announce that they have already reached a one million global players milestone! Built from the ground up to take advantage of console features and gameplay styles, World of Warships: Legends is well on its way to take the massively multiplayer naval combat crown on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One!

To celebrate this prestigious milestone the team behind World of Warships: Legends is launching the first of many upcoming in-game additions by offering the all-new Atlanta Campaign, the upcoming Free Pack, and new Starter Packs!

In the Atlanta Campaign, which sets sail on May 20, players can dive into a large variety of tasks and missions, which will keep them busy at sea! Those who are brave enough to take on the Atlanta Campaign will have many opportunities to promote their commanders, and, by completing the campaign, earn the tier VI Premium cruiser, the USS Atlanta. Players can also earn plenty of resources to contribute to their overall game progress (boosters, camouflage, and premium time) by completing each campaign trial and unlocking in-game rewards.
 
In addition to the all-new campaign, World of Warships: Legends introduces a Free Pack and two Starter Packs later this month. These three new bundle packs come stocked with tons of content to speed players to victory! Included in some of the packs are: the American battleship USS Texas, the British destroyer HMS Campbeltown, and hero commander Willis Lee. Boosters, credits, doubloons, premium account time, and extra camouflage will also be included in these Starter Packs to help commanders cruise their way to victory!

In addition, there will be a variety of new premium ships introduced to Legends this month for purchase. The British battleship HMS Warspite, the American battleship USS Arizona, and the Japanese destroyer Kamikaze will all become available in-game and will get to show their most fearsome stuff against their foes this month.

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 scheduled for release on PS4 and Xbox One in 2019.
