If you didn’t care enough about tanks to playWorld of Tanks, but love battleships, then you could do worse than keeping an eye on theofficial websiteofWorld of Battleshipsfor future beta shenanigans.
Wargaming.net’s upcoming free-to-play multiplayer titlepromises a choice between three main classes of ships — aircraft carriers, lumbering battleships and heavy cruisers, and speedy light destroyers — that should provide plenty of strategy for the online team-based gameplay. Youaregoing to play as a team, right?
Furthermore, the stuff you earn inWorld of Battleshipscan be distributed toWorld of TanksandWorld of Warplanesso that playing one game won’t cost you progress in the other, but will instead offer you some choice in where you want your hard-earned points to go.
I really love me some naval warfare in videogames, which has become a bit of a stagnant genre afterBattlestations: Pacific— unless you are into the more hardcore simulation type of games likeNaval War: Arctic Circle. The last arcade type of game I tried out wasNaval Assaulton the Xbox 360, which was pretty damn terrible. So I’m curious to see ifWorld of Battleshipswill get me back into that godly feeling of maneuvering a giant floating hulk of steel armed with massive guns that take ages to reload.
