The Washington Capitals’ Alexander Ovechkin will feature as a commander within World of Warships, Wargaming today announced.
Ovi’s inclusion in-game will celebrate the 2018-19 NHL regular season, which kicks off tomorrow.
Ovechkin will appear later this month as “four different commanders, one that can serve with the US fleet, one for Soviet vessels and two unique ones,” Wargaming advised.
“These two extra special commanders will be dual-nation, a first for World of Warships, meaning players can easily switch between Soviet and US fleets with a single commander.”
All four commanders come with perks and all are voiced by Ovi himself.
“I wanted people to understand that in any competitive field, you must inspire players to never give up,” Ovechkin said of his inclusion. “Video games are just like sport—play more, train more. When I started the game for the first time, I realized I am not a very good ship commander… But, like on the ice, I will continue to play and build my game skills until I am the best!”
World of Warships is available now on PC; Ovechkin also appears inside NHL 19, out now on Xbox One and PS4.
