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 Independence Day with U.S. Ships and Skins

With American Independence Day approaching, plenty of patriotic additions are arriving to World of Warships: Legends. Kicking off the festivities is a brand-new campaign “Forward for Freedom” starting on June 30. Spanning five weeks and 120 milestones, this campaign offers U.S. Tier VIII Premium battleship Wisconsin as the grand prize for those with Admiralty backing. Throughout the campaign players can also collect a special currency, Independium, which can be used to unlock Legendary Tier cruiser Puerto Rico, themed skins and other in-game items.

Tier VI Premium battleship West Virginia '44 also sails into Legendary waters, and can be found in the Steel and Stars random bundle. Rounding out these all-American additions to the game, U.S. Legendary Tier battleship Louisiana makes waves in the Bureau, bringing impressive firepower and devastating airstrikes to those who complete this research project.

Beyond these celebrations, a new permanent camouflage arrives for HMS Rodney. Based on Rodney’s Admiralty Disruptive Pattern from the Second World War, the historical camouflage for this formidable British battleship will be available from June 30.

Star Trek beams back into World of Warships: Legends

Star Trek returns to World of Warships: Legends, bringing the Tier VIII cruiser U.S.S Voyager to the game and a new Borg Queen’s Diamond skin for Yamato. Joining World of Warships: Legends’ lineup of out-of-this-world Commanders are four more iconic Star Trek characters – Riker, Janeway, Worf, and the Borg Queen. The new content can be found in the Store and in the new Replicator Crate II, alongside returning content from the previous collaboration wave. Players can access these Crates for free through the “Forward for Freedom”, and through the "To the Delta Quadrant and Back" mission, and Commander Riker will be available through the new Number One Calendar and in the Store.

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.

Currently available on Android, iOS, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, World of Warships: Legends is coming to PC (Steam) in 2026.
