We have a mature audience that is ready for another shake up. “Right now, we believe we do have that diversity. The game was simply not mature enough to have a new class added.” “There wasn’t enough content diversity in the game, there weren’t enough interactions between different mechanics. “It took us a while to because we didn’t believe the game and the audience were ready for them,” explains Plociennik. Buoyed by the success of 2018’s Halloween event, Terror of the Deep, which saw submarines introduced for a limited time in a PvE scenario mode, and backed up by the raw metrics that proved just how engaged the audience was with the new submersible vessels, Lesta Studio is confident that the time is right for submarines to become the fifth class in World of Warships. This obsession with data and statistical analysis is why, despite the protests of a small but vocal crowd on the World of Warships official forum and subreddit, Lesta Studio is set to launch submarines into the game late in 2019. (“Some of them actually hit their targets, and some of them actually sank their targets as well,” jokes global executive producer Artur Plociennik.)

In the four years since it first exited its open beta harbour and entered the waters of full release, the free-to-play World of Warships has accumulated over 30 million registered users, with a combined total of over 130 million ships acquired, more than 180 billion in-game kilometres travelled, and some 612 billion shots fired. Like the greatest naval commanders throughout history, World of Warships developer Lesta Studio is all about the numbers.
