When you first delve into the deep universe that is World of Warships, what quickly hits you is just how many possibilities there are for adventure. Thanks to a pool of more than 400 ships, each stunningly realised with the utmost historical accuracy, there is almost no limit to the number of battle scenarios for you to immerse yourself in. The gameplay is challenging and responsive, and rewards strategic thinking.

But more than anything, the satisfaction you’ll get from playing World of Warships cannot be underestimated. Taking command of your fleet, doing your bit to preserve history, and having a damn good time while doing it, all add up to a one-of-a-kind experience.

World of Warships is particularly invested in faithfully recreating the naval scenarios that occurred during WWII. Take a look at this fascinating video that will tell you all about the state of play throughout that history-defining global conflict, and the resources at each superpower’s disposal, and how the game stays true to that delicate balance.

Pick a side

World of Warships allows you to play many historical empires and forces from both sides of the first and second World Wars, including Japan, Germany, Italy, the US, Great Britain and France. And, in addition to the fundamental aspects of naval battle, there are realistic weather conditions that can often change dramatically throughout the game. These aren’t just cool visual effects – these are very real forces that may plunge you into the unknown, requiring sharp and responsive tactical rethinking.

Of course, the thrill of battle is reward enough, but there are always plenty of opportunities for heroic deeds and achievements while at sea. For each battle, you’ll receive awards and valuable in-game goods, which you can use to bolster your record and acquire more potent equipment.

You can join a team and engage in battles against bots or real players. Plus, you can also invite your friends and create your own unsinkable division or join a clan to find like-minded captains. However you decide to team up, just make sure you take advantage of all the in-game features!
