The full version followed on December 10, 2022. On December 14, 2023, Wishlist Games acquired the rights to develop World War 3 from The Farm 51, becoming the next lead development studio for the game.

Gameplay

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

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; in 2021 the game seemed to be moving away from the "hardcore". 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." The game features "an advanced ballistics system, full-body awareness, vehicle physics, and extensive customization.
