Wargaming sinks an April Fool’s game, new mode into a squadron of news

Wargaming today unleashed a barrage of news, including a special April Fool’s Day game.

The April Fool’s game, titled World of Warships: Ocean Drift, is developed by the same studio behind World of Warships. In the game, “players take to the geometric seas and sail around a series of ten levels, scooping up all the baubles bobbing on the waves,” Wargaming said in a press release.

“At odds with the prospective treasure hunters are a number of enemy vessels in dogged pursuit. However, along with quick fingers and wits, players have torpedoes at their disposable to sink the opposition,” the release continued.

Also timed for April Fool’s is a World of Tanks Lunar mode and corresponding moon map, called “Moon River”, that transports players “to a lunar landscape, with appropriately reduced gravity, for laser blasting matches of cosmic proportions.”

The special mode begins at 4.00 am AEDST on 4 April and runs until 17.59 pm AEDST on 6 April.

The news was also announced alongside an upcoming 11th Tier to be introduced into World of Tanks, and a new Tower Defense-inspired browser game called World of Tanks: Operation Undead.
