Fault Line is a heavily congested map, with dozens of choke points allowing for close-range battleship combat and potential torpedo ambushes by enemy ships. There are only a few open areas: the far west has decent sightlines for long-range combat, as do as the center, north-center, and south-center portions of the map. The center area is particularly deadly to cruisers, who can potentially have enemies firing on them from multiple directions early in a match with very little cover or avenues of escape. This map can be played in either three-area [[Ship:Game Modes#Domination|Domination]] or two-base [[Ship:Game_Modes#Standard|Standard Battle]] mode.}} | Fault Line is a heavily congested map, with dozens of choke points allowing for close-range battleship combat and potential torpedo ambushes by enemy ships.

Trident features an archipelago resembling those found in the Indian Ocean. The small islands make for excellent hiding places from which to launch surprise attacks and torpedo salvoes. It is one of the first maps to feature time-of-day variants: battles will occur at either dawn, morning, dusk, or night.

+ | The new map draws inspiration from the beautiful terrain of the northeastern part of the archipelago, including the large mountainous islands of Praslin and La Digue, surrounded by smaller stretches of land. Crystal-clear turquoise waters lap at the islands' white shores, and tropical forests of lush green vegetation stretch inland. Battles on Seychelles are fought in the Domination mode with four Key Areas, with two possible configurations. The map is designed for battles with Tier V–IX ships.}} | |||

The legendary white facade of the cliffs of Dover has looked over the final resting place of many a ship in the annals of history. In Update 0.8.6, a new map called Crash Zone Alpha appeared in the game for Tier VIII–X battles in Domination mode. The map has two versions: with three and four key areas, respectively. The map is also interesting for aficionados of Clan Battles: the “home” key areas of the teams are located quite close to each other, which forces the teams to reconsider their usual combat tactics.}} | The legendary white facade of the cliffs of Dover has looked over the final resting place of many a ship in the annals of history.

Inspired by the archipelago of the same name, battles will take place among flowing mountains covered with a thin layer of snow and islands with steep shores. The map has been designed for battles involving Tier VII–X ships, as well as superships.

Each map in World of Warships is designed to be unique and interesting while promoting fun and engaging gameplay. Most maps are restricted to certain tiers of ships, largely due to the speed and firing range of the ships that will play on it. Map sizes vary from 24x24 km to 48x48 km. It's worth noting that maps are not to scale with the ships. Ships are roughly twice as large than they should be; put another way, each map is twice as small as it should be. This is intentional, and was done to condense gameplay and avoid long matches in which players spend inordinate amounts of time just trying to bring the enemy into engagement range.
The maps listed below are divided currently into two types: Regular and Special. Regular maps are the ones most players are familiar with, as they feature in Random and Co-op Battles. Special maps on the other hand only appear at certain times, or on special occasions.
Note that "Battle Tier" below refers to the highest ship tier in a Random or Co-op Battle, and not necessarily to the tiers of ALL ships in the battle. For example: a map with a "Battle Tier" of "9-10" can actually be seen by Tier VII ships if they are up-tiered into a Tier IX battle in which that map is chosen. See also Matchmaking. Training Battles have no tier restrictions. Ranked Battles, Clan Battles and Brawls have their own tier restrictions.

The map is designed for Tier VIII–X battles in the Epicenter and Domination modes, with three Key Areas. Battles will be fought in the harsh Northern territories, among snow-blanketed islands where the sun appears for only several hours each day. The map is divided into three parts:
- The western part is an open-water space with several large islands, providing good possibilities for battleships and destroyers to maneuver.
- The central part is also open water, but at the same time it contains islands that will allow you to find shelter from any fire from the flanks. Besides that, the location of islands and their landscapes make it possible to push through the center into the flanks.
- The eastern part has many islands behind which cruisers and destroyers can find shelter from enemy fire. This part is suitable for those players who prefer inflicting sudden attacks on the enemy, and who can skillfully make use of limited shelter.
