Gameplay

World War 3 is a modern military first-person shooter set in the global conflict of a catastrophic future.[3][10]

Described as "a more hardcore Battlefield" in 2018, in June 2020 the developer The Farm 51 planned a revamp and relaunch together with the publisher My.Games and co-publisher The 4 Winds Entertainment joined in 2021;[2] in 2021 the game seemed to be moving away from the "hardcore".[10] The developer commented that World War 3 aims for as much realism as possible without compromising gameplay: "One of our goals with World War 3 is to offer realistic simulations with an altogether enjoyable experience. We call this playable realism."[10] The game features "an advanced ballistics system, full-body awareness, vehicle physics, and extensive customization.[3]
