Visit the Armory to obtain the new Arpeggio ships with Port slots, special Commanders with unique voiceovers, and valuable items. The bundles will be available for purchase until:Fri. 27 Nov. 06:00 CET (UTC+1)
ARP Yamato and ARP Maya
Mighty super battleship X ARP Yamato and heavy cruiser VIII ARP Maya are ready to lead the "Fleet of Fog" forces into battle! In the Armory, you can purchase these ships individually or in a large bundle that also includes a unique upgrade for ARP Yamato, the ARPEGGIO permanent camouflage for IX Musashi, Commanders with unique voiceovers, and other items.
Please note: if deemed necessary, balance changes may be applied to X ARP Yamato.
The ARPEGGIO permanent camouflage for IX Musashi is also available in the Armory, together with a Commander with a unique voiceover, and a combat mission that grants bonus XP.
The Premium Shop features "Fleet of Fog" ships that have already proved themselves in battle—heavy cruisers VII ARP Ashigara, VII ARP Nachi, VII ARP Haguro, and VII ARP Myōkō; fast battleships V ARP Kirishima, V ARP Haruna, V ARP Kongō, and V ARP Hiei; and versatile heavy cruiser VIII ARP Takao, with her powerful artillery, torpedo launchers, high speed, and low detectability. Together with this ship, you'll also receive the alternative ARPEGGIO RED permanent camouflage.
Each ship comes with an eponymous Commander with a unique voiceover and a Port slot.
The Premium Shop is stocked with a single pack that includes all these ships with 10-skill-point Commanders. The bundles will be available for purchase until:Fri. 27 Nov. 06:00 CET (UTC+1)
All of the Arpeggio of Blue Steel ships in a single bundle! The heavy cruisers and battleships are equipped with powerful main battery artillery and capable of reaching high speeds.
Commander Iona and Commander Gunzo Chihaya have specializations for V ARP Kirishima and VIII ARP Takao, respectively. All Arpeggio Commanders have unique voiceovers and specializations for their same-name ships. You can have more than one of each of the Arpeggio Commanders in your roster simultaneously.
ARP ships are Premium ships. This means that they earn more credits per battle and their permanent camouflages provide bonuses to XP, as well as reduce the cost of their post-battle service. You can reassign Commanders from any Japanese ships to ARP ships without having to retrain them. XP earned on ARP ships can be converted into Free XP. ARP ships have a special set of unique visual effects for shell and torpedo hits, fire, and flooding.
You can disable the display of additional content any time. All bonuses provided by camouflages are active even when their display is disabled. In this case, the standard permanent camouflage, or in case a ship lacks one, the Type 5 camouflage, will be displayed.
Combat Mission
Starts:Fri. 13 Nov. 06:00 CET (UTC+1) Ends:Fri. 27 Nov. 06:00 CET (UTC+1)
To complete the chain of combat missions, you need to earn "Hits to citadel" ribbons, deal damage to enemy ships, and earn XP. For completing stages of the chain, you'll earn X-Ray Papa Unaone and Sierra Bravo signals. The final reward comes in the form of Commander Kirishima with a unique voiceover and 6 skill points.
ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA-
The anime and manga are set in the near future, at a time when the mysterious Fleet of Fog has seized control over the World Ocean. An enigmatic and invincible squadron is made up of the reincarnations of legendary ships from the first half of the 20th century, with Kongō, Kirishima, and Takao being among them.
Equipped with a mysterious superweapon, and led by battleship Yamato, the new masters of the oceans block the humans from accessing the seas—destroying anything that dares to move offshore. Many corners of the earth, including Japan, find themselves isolated and cut off from the rest of the world.
Ships of the Fleet of Fog are commanded by their human-like Mental Models. Iona, the Mental Model of Japanese submarine I-401, chooses to defect across to the humans in a bid to turn the tide of the war against the Fleet of Fog.
Three years have passed since World of Warships first appeared on Steam! We're happy that so many players have revealed their talents for conquering in our epic naval battles during this time. Keep up that spirit!
For the anniversary, you'll receive some special combat missions. Completing them will grant you access to unique branded items such as a container, camouflages, and a Steam flag. For that to happen, simply enter battles playing Tier V ships and higher, and earn 10,000 total XP and 20,000 Commander XP.
The Steam container includes economic signals and one of the following items: 10,000 Free XP; 5x Steam camouflages; 1 day of Premium Account; or 250 doubloons.
Starts:Fri. 13 Nov. 06:00 CET (UTC+1) Ends:Mon. 30 Nov. 06:00 CET (UTC+1)
You can complete the chain of combat missions playing Tier V–X ships in Random and Co-op Battles, as well as in Operations.
Are you new to World of Warships or do you have fewer than eight battles under your belt? Then simply finish two battles playing a Tier III ship or higher and you will receive Tier V battleship Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya in a rare Victory Day permanent camouflage, a Commander with 6 skill points, and some unique branded items—Steam boxes, Steam camouflages and a Steam flag!
