Wargaming reveals first three nations to
receive submarines in World of Warships
Wargaming pulls the curtain on the long-awaited ship class
for its popular naval combat game with a brand new cinematic trailer and
gameplay video
22nd
August 2019 – After recently announcing
the upcoming arrival of submarines as playable vessels in World of Warships, publisher and developer Wargaming has unveiled more
details on their unique features as well as their plans for the launch of the
long-awaited ship class during gamescom 2019.
A
brand-new cinematic trailer and a gameplay video showing the submarines combat
abilities are available on the official channel.
Three
nations will be the first to receive these stealthy combat machines, including:
The United States: the Cachalot (Tier VI), Salmon
(Tier VIII) and Balao (Tier X).
Germany: the U-69 (Tier VI), U-190 (Tier
VIII) and U-2501 (Tier X).
USSR:the S-1(Tier VI), L-20 (Tier VIII)
and K1 (Tier X).
In the next couple of weeks, players will be able to get a first glimpse of submarines
during the upcoming Super Test phase. Prospective commanders can already look
forward to this fall’s PvP event, which will let them try out submarines from
the first three nations for a limited time to evaluate the changes brought by
the introduction of the new ship-class before its actual release. Wargaming is
looking to expand the selection of submarines to other nations in the future,
with the Japanese fleet to follow, as well as the future introduction of
additional researchable and premium ships.
The
uniqueness of submarines resides in their ability to appear in places where
they are least expected, dislodging enemy ships from choke points via surgical
torpedo volleys before disappearing again. Submarines will have the best
stealth capabilities in the game, as they will be able to dive below the ocean
surface and evade visual detection as long as their supply of oxygen allows it.
This brand-new ability will let players launch surprise attacks on the enemy
team and become invulnerable to most types of damage. Submarines will however
be relatively slow and have the least amount of hit points, requiring from
prospective commanders thoughtful use of their unique mechanics, as well as
good positioning and situational awareness to turn the tides of battle.
When
submerged, submarines will lose vision of enemies in the battle. They will need
to plot their course and detect other ships with the help of another new
mechanic, the hydrophone. This feature will allow them to determine the
direction to the nearest enemy ships and visualise their surroundings when
diving, actively helping them with their spatial awareness.
Players
will also gain the ability to adjust their aim after firing and to alter their
torpedoes’ course by pinging certain parts of an enemy ship using their sonar.
This new feature will however be a double-edged blade, as it will show the
submarine’s position on the mini map for a short period of time.
The introduction of submarines will also bring new weapons and mechanics
specifically designed to counter them. Destroyers will be particularly
efficient at hunting down submarines and special zones will appear on the
surface once they get close to their prey. Once they’ve acquired a target,
destroyers will be able to use brand-new weapons designed to sink submarines
hiding at high depth: the anti-submarine mortars and depth charges, which will
be activated automatically when they sail above their opponents.

THE DARK
PICTURES ANTHOLOGY: MAN OF MEDAN TEASES THE TERRORS TO COME IN
NEWEST TRAILER
BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. and Supermassive Games released a new teaser trailer for The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan, which illuminates both the title’s driving mysteries and its place within the larger anthological series.
Developed
by Supermassive Games, the critically-acclaimed studio behind the cult-classic
thriller Until Dawn, The Dark Pictures Anthology is a
series of standalone cinematic horror games anchored by three common threads:
an unprecedented amount of branching gameplay—even for a Supermassive
title—that yields near-limitless replayability; 5 controllable characters (per
game) who can all live and die based on the players’ choices; and The Curator,
an omnipresent narrator-like figure who seems to know just a little bit too
much about Supermassive’s horrifying new universe.
Man
of Medan
will serve as the maiden voyage for the anthology, offering players a
bottomless ocean of chilling experiences to be braved either with a friend
or—for the particularly daring—alone. The title is
slated to set sail on August 30, 2019 for the PlayStation®4 computer
entertainment system, Xbox One and Steam® for PC.
