Whatever is best for the community is what's going to come to the game on these fronts.Īnother note about World of Warships: Legends is that it only currently supports the three main classes of ship (destroyers, cruisers, battleships), meaning carriers (and their recent upgrades for the PC version) are not part of the game. The same goes for cross-platform play between PS4 and Xbox which is something they're starting to look into.

To start there are only seven tiers of ships in Legends, to keep the playlists in line with the player counts, although Wargaming tells us that their 2 million players during early access surpassed expectations. On the gameplay front more nations, commanders, maps, and the legendary battleship Yamato are all on the way alongside events. Legends supports HDR on the consoles and 4K is coming later this year, first for the Xbox One X.

That perhaps is why it's so worth checking out, especially since it's free. The WWI and WWII naval battles aren't represented in other games like this on consoles so this is something uniquely refreshing, but it may be a slight shock if you've not played the console version of World of Tanks to know what to expect.

The slow pace of the naval combat of World of Warships will feel strange to players not accustomed to this unique type of gameplay and the expectation is that most players coming to Legends will be new to the series.

Most noticeably, the mini-map and speed throttle indicators are in different corners of the screen and of course each weapon or ability is assigned to a controller button, represented on screen. The game features very familiar HUD elements, just rearranged.
