The World War 3 shooter returns in an improved version -apkrig
Already in 2018, the developers from The Farm 51 released an ambitious World War 3 event in the preliminary access program, which attracted a more tactical approach than other competing brands, a large degree of freedom in the modification of weapons and large battlefields. However, it must be admitted that the game did not hit the players’ taste, as the developers expected, and the gradual outflow of interest plunged World War 3 into a state of clinical death. It all resulted in the abolition of early access last year and the promise that the developers will continue to work on the game to change it according to the reactions of the players at the time and make it a more fun and attractive product. They invited the My.Games studio to help and did not let themselves be heard about themselves for quite some time. Last December’s call for players to join the test group, and a subsequent developer diary in mid-July this year, led to an improved version that will be available soon. veterans from players who bought World War 3 in pre-accession while it was still possible.
“You are ready to rediscover World War III,” Farm 51 developers ask a little smilingly in a new blog. Of course, he means his game and the upcoming alphatest, which will be available to all owners of the game. The game will start on September 30, from our point of view from 2 pm, and the servers will be silent again until October 4 at the same time. The game should be introduced in its improved version and will offer two game modes – Tactical Ops, resp. Team Deathmatch. He will fight on four war-torn maps, based on the real cities of Berlin, Moscow, Warsaw and Poljarny. This corresponds to the original concept that the player was supposed to take to the whole world, logically taking into account enlargement beyond Europe. If you ask about those improvements in particular, the developers in general talk about reworked animations, more realistic processing of maps, movement of individual players and, last but not least, their own shooting. This is a bit compared to the original state of the game wilder and overall, the game seems to be a few degrees faster. However, it still retains its realistic basis and should form a certain alternative, for example, for the upcoming Battlefield 2042.
However, it must be admitted that the shots of the game, including views of the menu, are in many ways reminiscent of Call of Duty, for example, including the ways in which the player overcomes obstacles. On the other hand, the use of vehicles is closer to Battlefield, and with a good constellation, a title can really appear on the market that could stand somewhere on the border between the two famous brands. As the developers themselves state, they do not want to go down the road inaccessible hardcore shooter and in their new blog they use the connection of playable realism. “World War 3 will also be open to players who are new to the FPS genre,” said The Farm 51, wondering if this was the best approach from them. In any case, we will be very curious about the final mix and combination of both approaches, and we hope that there will be no strange cat song that would like to openly compete with Battlefield or Call of Duty. Regardless of the qualities of all three brands, the audience of more arcade shooters is already fully saturated, and without clearer profiling, even an improved version of World War 3 could pay for the lack of interest of players.
You can find out what the game will look like in the test phase during a special stream organized by the developers on September 29 from 7 pm local time. They will discuss all important news, they also want to answer questions that may appear on the World War 3 account and, most importantly, present where the title has moved in the year of further development. In addition, the game will be commented by My.Games executive producer Alexej Larionov and especially the creative director of The Farm 51 Kamil Bilczyński. In the end, the developers promise that the next phase of testing will be open to more players and will reflect further changes made based on the response from players. However, the developers have not yet set a date for the game to be completed.
