World of Warships trailer shows in-game footage

Take a stern look at your opponent. Shore yourself for battle. Torpedo their hopes for victory. Expect these and other ship puns to be deployed frequently in the playing of World of Warships. That or some 12-year-old will say a mean thing about your mother.

A new trailer for Wargaming's ship-shaped free-to-play shooter shows off some in-game footage of the game being played. In it, big boats fire at other big boats with big weapons. Sometimes a big explosion happens.

WoWS's beta testing phase is due to begin early this year.

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
