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.
Wargaming has announced an official partnership with pop-culture icon Popeye the Sailor Man in a special collaboration recognizing World Ocean Month.
This collaboration will take place in tandem with a charity partnership, to be announced ahead of the content becoming available to purchase.
Taking place every June, World Ocean Month is an annual celebration of our ocean and a platform to raise awareness of the work needed to maintain the Earth’s greatest ecosystem.

It feels even more special knowing we are making a contribution to raising awareness about the ocean preservation while bringing joy to our players,” commented Marko Valentic, Global Business Development and Communications Director at Wargaming.
