Developer and publisher Wargaming has released its latest update for World of Warships (WoWS), its widely popular, free to play naval combat game. The second stage of the U.S. Battleships event presents a unique U.S. Navy focused historical collection, a range of combat missions and daily shipments with regular rewards. On top of that, the update adds a new limited time battle mode set in a grim future ruled by corporations that lands just in time for the Halloween season.
Making a Splash with the Stars and Stripes
This event is all about the U.S. Navy, designed to inform players about the main batteries of battleships, admirals and medals of service in both World Wars as well as the main uniform types of enlisted men of the U.S. Navy during World War II. By completing the collection, players will get a new Tier V Oklahoma battleship, with camouflages, flags and containers all rewarded upon completing new combat missions.
Big Hunt: The Key to Victory!
A monstrous new limited time battle mode comes to World of Warships, and is certain to delight fans of sci-fi dystopias. Introducing Key Battles, a temporary game mode which sees 16 players fighting against each other and AI-controlled monsters on a gigantic Polygon map.
The main objective for players is to exit the Polygon through a portal located at the center of the map, by destroying one of the special monsters and obtaining a key. Players start out alone, but can gather a team of up to three ships directly in battle. However, only one can use the key, which is why they’ll face a choice—go all the way with their allies, or turn their guns against them and escape as a lone wolf. Players will be able to take the helm of three different ships, each customizable with a wide selection of different modules, allowing them to experiment with dozens of unique combinations and playstyles. For a look at this new game mode in action, check out this dedicated video.
