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 has packed their November update (v3.8 will be available on November 8, 2021.) with a bombardment of new content. It all starts with the new Origin of Wisdom campaign, new branch of aircraft carriers, Russian battleships leaving Early Access and the next installation of the Warhammer 40,000 collaboration and so much more.

Origin of Wisdom Campaign
This all-new campaign spans six weeks and 120 milestones, across two 3-week updates. The Origin of Wisdom campaign brings two new ships, the Tier IV French destroyer Siroco, sporting effective HE shells at milestone 40, and the Tier VII German cruiser Mainz at milestone 120, which features powerful guns and sonar capabilities. Players won’t need to choose the reward: both ships will be available with active Admiralty Backing once the campaign has been completed in full.

The legendary Royal Navy brings its wings!
One of the most important naval forces of WWII arrives on the legendary seas: it’s time to attack with Swordfishes and Barracudas from the decks of British aircraft carriers! The new tech tree line features three ships: Tier III Hermes, Tier V Furious and Tier VII Implacable, with a special aircraft carrier Commander, Denis Boyd, available from the first hours of the update. Carpet bombings and numerous torpedoes are ready to be unleashed! 

White-hot Fury meets mighty Waaagh!
Part two of this collaboration with Warhammer 40,000 arrives in World of Warships: Legends, with two new ships. The Cross of Dorn of the Black Templar’s Space Marines and Ship Smasha of the Orks have arrived and are each equipped with dedicated Commanders; also available in this update are themed camos, flags and patches, as well as dedicated Eternal war crates that contain a whole self of goods. 

Alternative Russian cruisers available for everyone
The Tier IV Kotovsky, Tier V Gorky and Tier VI Tallinn Soviet cruisers are all made available as the tech tree branch departs from Early Access. These ships are equipped with flat ballistics, sonar, and respectable torpedoes, making them good all-rounders at every tier. At the forefront of this range available in this update is the Tier VII Riga, which boasts impressive 8.7-inch (220mm) guns.
Last, and certainly not least, especially for competitive players, come three Ranked seasons. Battles will take place with Tier V, VI and VII ships depending on the season, with no Arms Race mechanic and no aircraft carriers whatsoever.

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, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
