"We're excited to launch World of Battleships website," Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kislyi said in a statement. "We want to make it home for all those in love with naval battles and WWII-era warships."
When the free-to-play game launches, it will feature:
Multiple Warships to Choose from in three main classes of ships:"All the machines have their unique combination of firepower, speed, armor, and endurance," Wargaming.net states. "A pack of nimble destroyers will tire out their opponents, huge battleships can batter down any target with a couple of main caliber salvos, aircraft carriers are capable of covering the allies from air or routing an aircraft cell towards the enemy."
-- Aircraft carriers that provide both naval and air support
-- Battleships and heavy cruisers able to scarify the enemy with their looks alone
-- Light destroyers with speed and agility as their strongest points
The studio is currently putting the finishing touches on World of Warplanes, and that game is expected to launch later this year. Wargaming.net has not announced a release window for World of Battleships.
