The question now is what Wargaming will come up with next. It’s not clear whether the Apreggio of Blue Steel‘s mode features any gameplay changes, but it might be worth checking out in the coming days. And based on the trailer, it doesn’t require any massive changes on Wargaming’s part outside of reskins and voice recordings. It’s a great way to bring an entirely new audience to World of Warships that already enjoyed naval battles in another genre. This isn’t the kind of direction I expected Wargaming to take, but it might actually be a smart move. Wargaming even brought the voice actress behind “Iona” into Warships, a nice touch for fans of the show. I am playing World of Warships for the first time, before that I have played Steel Ocean and I am making a comparison between the two games. Each ship also comes with a Mental Model, calling out actions in-game. Captains will take control of the show’s Kongo-class ships, and lead fleets into battle for all-new missions. So what’s this have to do with World of Warships? Well, Wargaming will soon add a new game mode based around the Arpeggio of Blue Steel anime. The concept eventually carried over to the anime series Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova-, which produced 12 episodes in 2013 and two full-length films this year. The series follows humanity’s conflict with The Fleet of Fog, sentient warships that control the oceans and communicate with humanoid avatars called Mental Models. What are your options? Do you add more historical vessels? Experiment with modern ships and technology? That’s what I expected from Wargaming, but it’s taking World of Warships in a complete unexpected direction – adding a new game mode based on the anime series Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova-.Īrpeggio of Blue Steel is a manga set in a near future where rising sea levels consumed many Earth landmasses. Let’s say you’ve officially launched a World War II naval combat game, and need to come up with expansions and new content. Wargaming is bringing a new gameplay mode to World of Warships inspired by the naval combat anime Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova.
