Things have gotten even more competitive in World of Warships Blitz, thanks to its latest update. Update 5 introduces a new game mode called Grand Battle. New features and improvements have been added as well.

New Game Mode

Grand Battle is a brand new game mode involving 24 competitors in a 12v12 format. This is available on Domination and Epicenter map types. Moreover, each team can only use up to two aircraft carriers.

Take note that Grand Battle is not going to be here permanently as it is just an event mode. Be that as it may, the developers said that you can still look forward to this mode appearing every now and then.

New Features

Do you want the visuals to look better? If so, you’ll be happy to know that the new Ultra graphics quality option is now available. You can expect better overall visual quality, lighting, and shadow effects when you select this setting.

In addition, you can see your ships more clearly thanks to the new option called proximity camera position. This can be enabled on the Controls tab in the Settings menu.

If you want to delete your account for some reason, you can do so after the latest update. To do this, you must read and accept the Terms of Agreement. Keep in mind that if you log in within 30 days of making the request, the deletion request will be terminated.
