In 2019, Wargaming will bring massively multiplayer online naval action to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for the first time with World of Warships: Legends! In addition to epic online battles with iconic warships and legendary commanders from maritime history, it's also got loads of features exclusive to the console experience.

You can get ready to launch your torpedoes even sooner, because World of Warships: Legends is setting set sail for its Closed Beta phase! You can now pre-register for the chance to take part in Closed Beta weekends before the game’s official launch, and to get special in-game rewards (like Premium time, currency, and more) for the game's official launch in 2019! The first Closed Beta weekend starts on December 21, 2018, and it's the biggest opportunity to play the game before its official release yet, with a host of new and improved content to try out when it docks.

Inject your own unique style of fighting in naval warfare with legendary Commanders steering your ship. Each one brings a personalized approach to combat, and employ their own strengths, skills, and strategies in the naval arena. Fight with the heroic US admiral Norman Scott, Japanese tactician Isoroku Yamamoto, and even more legends at the helm of magnificent vessels like the formidable Amagi or the imposing Iowa.

Brand new combat missions provide new ways to unlock special items and powerful bonuses. You’ll be able to sink ships, rack up XP, and start fires on enemy vessels to reap the spoils of war through new tasks on a daily and weekly basis. Newly added voice chat functionality will also make it easier than ever to coordinate attacks and strategies with your friends to maximize your chances of victory!

Even more adjustments and improvements have been made thanks to input and testing from the community. World of Warships: Legends’ user interface has been developed specifically for the console experience, with in-game interfaces having been simplified to make navigation smoother and more accessible to new players. Visual improvements to water, smoke effects, and ship models help make the experience more immersive than ever before – you’ll feel like you’re right in the thick of explosive battles above the azure abyss!

The first Closed Beta weekend is scheduled for December 21, 2018. Pre-register now at http://wowslegends.com to receive exclusive access to future Closed Beta weekends, and special in-game rewards when the game launches in 2019.
