Wishlist Games launched the first season for their tactical shooter World War 3 today. The season start also marks the end of the Early Access and the start of the live-service development, which will see consistent additions of new content and further refinement of the game. In ‘Operation Redline’ new maps in the Korean DMZ and the Chinese Gobi Desert give players new maps to fight over and the new military gear from South-Korean and Chinese militaries adds to their toolbox.
World War 3 is a tactical online FPS developed by Polish studio The Farm 51, also known for Chernobylite and Get Even. Players engage in thrilling, team-based skirmishes by fighting on the ground, driving tanks and vehicles, utilizing drones to survey the battlefield, and calling in tactical strikes for maximum damage. Up to 40 players can battle in two core game modes, Tactical Ops and Deathmatch, with matches fought on a range of stunning, realistic maps. Squad up and take the fight from the streets of Warsaw, Berlin, Moscow, Polyarny, Smolensk and now the DMZ and Gobi Desert.
Operation Redline is the first Global Operation, a major seasonal content update that is themed around new Conflict Zones, nations or locations which allow for continuous growth of the game with new content. Each Global Operation further expands the scope of conflict by including new maps, features, game modes, quality-of-life improvements, weapons, strikes, and vehicles to diversify the tactical squad play. Redline is the first of 3 updates with the rest to follow in 2023, more details can be found on the Content Roadmap on the official website.
