Advertisement Sabaton previously teamed up with World Of Warships to release their thundering track ‘Bismarck’ in 2019 and now another collaboration has been confirmed. New single ‘Yamato’ is “an homage to the iconic Japanese battleship of the same name, taking fans on an intense and thunderous journey through history,” reads a press release with a special World Of Warships-inspired video going live at 3pm GMT here. ‘Yamato’ and ‘Bismark’ will feature in the game, while Sabaton frontman Joakim Brodén has been added as a commander. Both Brodén and bassist Pär Sundström have recorded special voiceovers for World Of Warships. A limited-edition ‘The Legend Of Sabaton’ collection is also available, offering players themed rewards and “personal messages” from the band. “‘Bismarck” was such an exciting song but it was never part of an album, and it felt that it was missing something,” said Sundström. “We always wanted to follow up on that story. Over the years, countless fans have asked us to write a song about ‘Yamato’ and we knew that it would be a natural continuation of what we started with ‘Bismarck’. We knew we wanted this song to have a totally different sound, and when Tommy [Johansson, guitarist] was writing the music for this, we felt we had the appropriate, powerful song for this story.” “Sabaton’s passion for storytelling and bringing history to life resonates deeply not only with our team, but with our community too,” added Wargaming’s Christian Bergmann. “We’re delighted to offer players new content as part of this collaboration, celebrating the band, their legacy, and the stories that inspire us all.“ Recommended Sundström will also be hosting a World Of Warships livestream this weekend (March 15) at 5pm GMT where fans can win tickets to a Sabaton show.
