I am not a battle sim fanatic however I do respect Wargaming for its usually bonkers crossovers. For instance, Korn appeared in World of Tanks Blitz a couple of years in the past, and even additional again, The Offspring did. But when long-in-the-tooth ’90s popular culture is not your factor, maybe one thing from the (checks Wikipedia) Thirties will work? Right here you go then: Popeye the Sailor Man is coming to World of Warships.
ICYMI: Popeye is a gruff cartoon sailor whose each muscle bulges with the consumption of tinned spinach. He began life as a comic book strip, earlier than showing in a sequence of his personal cartoons all through the ’60s and ’70s. In 1980 Robert Altman directed a Popeye film starring Robin Williams as Popeye, and Shelley Duvall as Popeye’s perennial love curiosity Olive Oyl. He is even had a handful of videogames, all on consoles, and none notably memorable.
It makes thematic sense that Popeye ought to seem in World of Warships; he’s, in spite of everything, a sailor. He’ll come as a commander within the Popeye Charity Bundle, which is able to increase funds for World Ocean Month on behalf of The SeaCleaners, an NGO focusing on ocean plastic air pollution. The bundle itself additionally features a Bluto commander, in addition to “bespoke voiceovers”, two flags, and a camouflage for the Tier VII USS Colorado, which I am guessing is a warship.
Popeye, by the way in which, has been related to The SeaCleaners for not less than three years. This Popeye bundle will not hit World of Warships till June, and at the moment is not priced, however it’ll coincide with a charity occasion, as you’d count on.
Whereas Popeye might be an apparent crossover, it stands in distinction to a present promotion which bundles a bunch of VTubers as playable World of Warships commanders, together with Shishiro Botan, Moona Hoshinova, Watson Amelia, and Takanashi Kiara. Oh, and there was not too long ago a Warhammer 40,000 crossover, too. This all maybe stretches the feasibility of a “sim”, however I respect the hustle.
