You can still use the WG client as normal how you've been playing before. Note: For the people asking, you aren't forced to play on Steam, it's optional (ex, like playing Ubisoft games on Steam).
But WG doesn't want to allow Steam integration.
On November, 15th, World of Warships will be available on the Steam. Same is true for the original client: you can not update a Game Center or launcher installation through Steam and vice versa. Important note: all updates to the game installed using Steam client will also be downloaded and installed through Steam. If you log in using Steam, you automatically create a new game account, which binds to your Steam account. That means that if you've played the game already you would want to keep using the original client. World of Warships wasn’t initially designed as a cross-platform project.
Q Will I be able to use my account?Ī: Unfortunately, not.
