World of Warships is going to space!
Running from March 29 to April 11, the Space Warships mode will be live in World of Warships. This mode will let you take one of nine unique Tier X spaceships into intergalactic battle, with each ship offering their own strengths on the field of space battle.
The mode will be available to all level 12 players who have a Tier VI ship or higher. To unlock the ships, you’ll first have to complete a “special battle mission.”
“When trying something new,” executive producer Artur Plociennik says, “we always keep in mind that we’ve got quite a dedicated fanbase following our every move. We have to set the bar high for ourselves and then check with the community whether it’s high enough—which is why we’re letting them give us their feedback for this new mode.”
Space battles have hit the game before several years ago, but according to a developer diary the new iteration of the mode has required the creation of mostly new content this time. Lead 3D artist Anton Karandin says he drew inspiration “from basically everything that was ever said, written, or filmed about space. I won’t name anything in particular. Because they’ll sue me.” Sadly, that may explain why Yamato isn’t among the space battleships this time.
