Wargaming and FORCE BLUE continue to work together to secure a brighter future for our one-and-only planet.
We want to contribute to the fight against pollution of the world’s oceans, and that’s why 10% of the net revenue from the Popeye collaboration will go to charity. All the details are here.

In this article, we want to provide an example of FORCE BLUE’s activity—their proud work is the reason for our collaboration.
FORCE BLUE Mission in Mallows Bay
Established as a nonprofit organization in 2016, FORCE BLUE seeks to address two seemingly unrelated problems—the rapidly declining health of our planet’s marine resources and the difficulty that returning combat veterans have in adjusting to civilian life—through one, mission-focused program.
One of the team’s many missions is diving in to help save some of the most unique underwater environments in the U.S. coastal national parks systems. There are 15 different sanctuaries within the Natural Marine Sanctuary System. Mallows Bay is part of the Potomac River in Maryland and is known for being the home of the “Ghost Fleet”: The bay is the final resting place of 100 WWI-era wooden steamships, covers 18 square miles, and is home to a wide variety of wildlife and fauna.
The most prolific vegetation in the water is seagrass, and that’s where FORCE BLUE comes into play. Their team is helping document and catalog all the various species of seagrass found beneath the water’s surface and within the sunken ships. Seagrass helps support wildlife, purify the air, and determine water quality levels. The team hope to survey the bay, help clean up the sunken ships, and create a safe area for marine life.
Stream With Rudy Reyes
The cofounder of FORCE BLUE is a man with a unique biography. He’s currently known for being a famous actor, but he’s also a former U.S. Marine Force Recon who had struggled with PTSD and depression since returning home from multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Connecting to FORCE BLUE was nothing short of life changing for Rudy, and he’ll share the reasons for that with us and Steve Gonzalez, FORCE BLUE member and former Navy SEAL, on June 8, at 18:00 UTC.
Don’t forget! We’ve prepared some special combat mission chains to celebrate the event. You’ll find all the details in this article.
