The Future of Naval Warfare: Submarines to Join World of Warships Roster

In a move that has been met with both excitement and trepidation from fans of the popular free-to-play game, World of Warships, developer Lesta Studio has announced plans to introduce submarines as the fifth playable class in the game. This decision comes hot on the heels of the success of last year's Halloween event, Terror of the Deep, which saw limited-time submarines make their debut in a PvE scenario mode.

According to global executive producer Artur Plociennik, Lesta Studio is confident that the time is right for submarines to join the ranks of destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers. 'Some of them actually hit their targets, and some of them actually sank their targets as well,' he jokes, referencing the impressive performance of the limited-time subs during Terror of the Deep.

But beyond the humor, Plociennik's statement highlights Lesta Studio's commitment to data-driven decision-making. The developer has been pouring over metrics and statistics since the introduction of submarines in 2018, and it seems that the numbers have told a compelling story. Despite some vocal opposition from a small but dedicated group of players on the official forum and subreddit, Lesta Studio is set to launch submarines into the game later this year.

So why are submarines such an important addition to World of Warships? For one, they offer a fresh new way for players to engage with the game. With their stealthy abilities and ability to launch torpedoes from beneath the waves, submarines bring a new level of strategy and excitement to naval warfare. Additionally, the introduction of submarines will likely attract new players who are drawn to the unique experience that these vessels offer.

In fact, World of Warships has already attracted an impressive following since its release in 2015. With over 30 million registered users, the game boasts a combined total of over 130 million ships acquired, more than 180 billion kilometers traveled, and some 612 billion shots fired. It's clear that Lesta Studio is on to something with its free-to-play naval combat simulator.

As World of Warships prepares to welcome submarines into the fold, fans can expect a new era of excitement and competition on the high seas. With its commitment to data-driven decision-making and dedication to delivering innovative gameplay experiences, Lesta Studio is poised to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in a game about naval warfare.
