In honor of this incredible military operation, three new Operations are coming to World of Warships in a new event battle type!

Starts: May 30

The first Operation will be available in Update 13.4, while the second and third Operations will become available in Update 13.5. Each Operation will last for 2 weeks, feature Tier V–VII ships, and accommodate up to 6 players in a Division.



In the first Operation, you'll take command of the Allied vanguard spearheading the landings on Utah Beach. You'll have to fight through enemy naval forces and suppress coastal defenses to ensure the safe arrival of your landing craft.






As part of the Operations commemorating D-Day, we're introducing a special event mechanic called "Classified Documents." These provide bonuses against specific enemy types, and they come in three different levels: Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret, with each level providing additional bonuses.



World of Warships and Azur Lane are joining forces once again! Update 13.4 will welcome the Sixth Wave of our collaboration! This time, the already impressive list of Azur Lane Commanders will be joined by five newcomers with individual voiceovers: Shimakaze, Ägir, Hornet, Queen Elizabeth, and Fusō; moreover, three new ships will be added to the game—AL Shimakaze, AL Ägir, and AL Hornet, as well as commemorative flags for the new ships.



But that's not all! Update 13.4 brings a new thematic Event Pass that features new content from the Azur Lane collaboration!

"Among the special rewards of the first progression line, you'll be able to obtain Azur Lane containers, an Azur Lane permanent camouflage for
Queen Elizabeth, plus Commander Queen Elizabeth with an individual voiceover and 10 skill points."

The final Brawl of the update is coming to a close this weekend. If you enjoy the cozy intimacy of smaller battles, then this session is for you because we're pitting teams of five Tier X ships against each other!

• Format: 5v5; Tier X ships.
  
• Ship type restrictions: 1 submarine, 2 battleships, 3 destroyers, 4 cruisers. No aircraft carriers allowed.

We've picked out two World of Warships Community Managers and two well-known Community Contributors and pitted them against each other in the naval arena. Which side will come out on top? Feast your eyes on our new video!

A new Tier VIII German cruiser has dropped anchor in World of Warships—Wiesbaden!

To grab the ship for yourself, open sequential bundles in the Armory holding containers. You are guaranteed to get the ship after opening all bundles, that is, if you don't already get her from opening one of the containers, because each of them has a chance to drop Wiesbaden!

This light cruiser has low detectability, effective air defenses, and long-range torpedoes. It is capable of dealing a lot of damage with the main caliber per minute and can also use the Smoke Generator.
