At this point we decided that if we don’t introduce submarines, if we don’t come up with a creative solution to the problem of fun and diverse gameplay, we’ll just run out of content. We have 170 ships researchable for free, and we have more than 100 premium ships. At the moment, we already have all the major nations represented, with most of the iconic, legendary ships.
But eventually we realized that we’d otherwise run out of content, run out of historical ships. The first conclusion was that we didn’t think that it was necessary. GamesBeat: How long have you been thinking about submarines, as opposed to executing on the concept, getting it in the game?Īlexandr Sasha Nikolaev: We’ve been discussing submarines since the beginning. Here’s an edited transcript of our interview. I interviewed him on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, with the wind blowing at us and the USS Pampanito (a WWII-ear submarine) in the background. Nikolaev said all is being done in the name of keeping the game realistic, balanced, and fun. That’s going to spin some heads around, but it could make the carriers more accessible. It will now switch from a top-down view of air combat with multiple squadrons, and shift to a third-person view of a single squadron of planes that the carrier captain controls. With the carriers, Wargaming found that not enough players were playing aircraft carriers across all tiers of combat. Then they will collect feedback from fans and introduce submarines and a revamp of carriers in 2019. They will tease the subs with the debut of Captain Nemo’s Nautilus for the Halloween update. Alexander Nikolaev, the publishing director for North America at the World of Warships group at Wargaming, explained why the developers are taking a big risk with the introduction of submarines.
