WORLD OF WARSHIPS ROLLS OUT A NEW LIMITED TIME BATTLE MODE AND KICKS OFF SECOND STAGE OF THE U.S. BATTLESHIPS EVENT

WORLD OF WARSHIPS ROLLS OUT A NEW LIMITED TIME BATTLE MODE AND KICKS OFF SECOND STAGE OF THE U.S. BATTLESHIPS EVENT

The latest update brings a new U.S. Navy historical collection, together with combat missions, Daily Shipments and an exciting new battle mode.

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 customisable 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.

For a deeper look at the latest update check out this video.

These are just two highlights from the latest update that will also include several other additions such as new missions for Clans to earn rewards, an interface update for aircraft carriers and much more.

It’s a long way to the top, but the all-American otaku won’t stop until he’s the #1 assassin in the world, baby!

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle takes place three years after Travis achieves his goal of being the #1 assassin in the UAA. However, time has not been kind to him, and he finds himself falling down the ranks to #51. Adding to his problems is Skelter Helter, another assassin who has sworn revenge on Travis for the death of his brother. With his trusty beam katanas in-hand for twice the hacking and slashing, and teamed up with his allies Shinobu and Henry Cooldown, Travis is on a mission to reclaim his #1 position and fend off new challengers. An otaku at heart though, there’s always time for retro 8-bit minigames to help him earn some money and power up!
