This is a short overview of the planned features for Update 13.9. If you want to participate in the Public Test for the coming update and read more about its features, visit the dedicated article on our website:

EU

IMPORTANT! Because the update is still being tested, the information in this article is tentative and reflects the state of game development at the time of its publication. Some changes and new features may be removed entirely or implemented differently by the time the update goes live.




You may remember the Mode Shuffle temporary battle type that randomly placed you in either an Airship Escort, Convoy, or Arms Race battle back in Update 13.6. Well, it's returning in 13.9, but with one important change—Arms Race will be removed from the rotation in favor of the Epicenter mode, which we last saw on the Live Server back in Update 0.11.4!

Not only is Epicenter making a reappearance, but its team point-earning system has been updated to better reward risk takers who venture into the inner Key Areas, as well as make the endgame more interesting.




Update 13.9's Event Pass is dedicated to an important German holiday that celebrates the reunification of East and West Germany after the end of the Cold War.

• The first progression line rewards "Black, Red, and Gold" and "Black, White, Red" permanent camouflages, along with the German Navy permanent camouflage for P. Heinrich and the German Eagle permanent camouflage for P. Rupprecht.
  
• Unlocking the second progression line will let you get your hands on Premium destroyer Karl von Schönberg, the German Navy permanent camouflage for Zieten, the German Eagle permanent camouflage for Schlieffen, German Commander Willie Neumann, and a German Squadron Premium container.

The dynamic Bounty Hunt experience is returning to the seas of World of Warships, this time with a Soviet-themed coat of paint.

The goal is to sink Bounty ships or earn the Bounty achievement in Random Battles. If you choose to take on the Bounty status for yourself, your goal will be to sink ships and earn achievements.

You can get the Bounty status in the Armory in exchange for 100,000 Credits, and each player can purchase up to 80 Bounty statuses during the event, with the first three being free. The Bounty status will be removed once your ship is destroyed or the event ends.

Rewards include Soviet Era containers, Victory Banner permanent camouflages for several Soviet ships, Victory permanent camouflages, and Coal.

During the first week of the event, you'll be able to track the total number of Bounties destroyed and earn various goodies in the exciting and rewarding Leaderboard competition. The top 10 players in each region will receive Premium Tier VIII submarine S-189, or 5,000 Steel if they already have this ship in their fleet. The top 11–25 will get 3x Soviet Era Premium containers, and the top 26–50 players will get 1,000 Steel.

Pan-American Tech Tree Battleships Ipiranga, Los Andes, and Libertad have been unleashed on our virtual battlefields in Early Access! If your idea of a battleship involves guns, guns, and more guns, then these bad boys will be right up your alley. A key feature of these ships is their access to Combat Instructions, which improves the range, damage, and reload time of the secondary battery when activated.

• Ipiranga is the final reward in the first progression line of the Update 13.8 Event Pass.
  
• Los Andes is available in a sequential bundle in the Armory that can be unlocked with Pan-American Tokens.
  
• Libertad can be obtained at the end of the sequential bundles in exchange for Doubloons.

As part of this event, you'll also be able to unlock permanent camouflages for each of these ships, inspired by the ship's country of origin.

For more information about the new ships, camouflages, and Pan-American Tokens, see our dedicated article below:

With the release of the new Pan-American line, there's no better time to introduce a themed collection with a unique Commander for the in-game nation. Joaquim Marques Lisboa, a historical 19th-century commander of the Brazilian Navy, comes with the enhanced Survivability Expert skill when sailing destroyers, cruisers, and aircraft carriers, as well as the enhanced Brisk skill for battleships.

He can also activate two unique talents in battle:

Relentless Firing:

• Condition: Hit enemy ships 175 times with main/secondary battery shells.
  
• Bonus: Reduces the reload time of the main battery, secondary battery, and torpedo tubes.

Master and Commander:

• Condition: Use Combat Instructions twice.
  
• Bonus: Raises the minimum Combat Instructions progress and increases ship speed.

To obtain the new Сommander, you must complete the new Battle of Paso de Patria puzzle collection. There are 60 elements in total and you can get them from Battle of Paso de Patria standard and Premium containers.

For more information about the collection and Commander, see our dedicated anniversary article:

This is a short overview of some of the content that is introduced in Update 13.8. You'll find more information in a dedicated article on our website:

EU



World of Warships will be turning 9 years old this month! In our usual fashion, we are throwing an all-out party full of Festive Rewards and events for our players!



As is tradition, throughout our Anniversary update you can unlock special rewards for achieving certain Base XP thresholds aboard any and all Tier V+ ships in your Port. And this year, we've made it easier than ever!

Your rewards will consist of Festive Tokens, a currency that can be exchanged in the Armory for Tier VIII American cruiser Rochester, Battle of Paso de Patria containers, the Stellar Pioneer permanent camouflage for Benson, Supercontainers, and much, much more!



It's been a long time coming and now it's finally here! To celebrate our anniversary, we have a brand-new in-game puzzle collection for you to complete!

There are 60 elements in total, which you can get from Battle of Paso de Patria standard and Premium containers. The final reward for completing the collection will be new unique Pan-American Commander Joaquim Marques Lisboa.



A new event has entered the Armory! In the Aquatica Fair event, you'll spend Tries to earn items from a large reward pool that includes new Tier IX Spanish battleship Victoria, Tier IX European battleship Karl XIV Johan, Tier VIII German battleship Anhalt, the Galactic Wanderer permanent camouflage for Victoria, and other anniversary-themed permanent camouflages from past years.



Be the first to try out the first Pan-American line of battleships in the game with our latest Early Access event! Battleships Ipiranga, Los Andes, and Libertad are awaiting your command, each with a large number of guns they can bring to bear.

To complement this setup, the ships have access to a Combat Instructions mechanic that, when activated, improves the range, damage, and reload time of their secondary batteries. To charge the Combat Instructions meter, you must either score hits with your main battery guns or accumulate potential damage.

In addition, the Pan-American battleships have access to an enhanced Repair Party consumable that restores a higher amount of HP.

As for downsides, gun-for-gun, their main batteries have lower range and firepower than the equivalent ships of other nations, and their citadels are vulnerable to enemy shells when the ships' broadsides are exposed.



Update 13.8 will introduce changes to Operations. These changes will affect Naval Station Newport, Raptor Rescue, The Ultimate Frontier, Hermes, Aegis, and Cherry Blossom. We have expanded the range of tiers that can participate in these 6 Operations, allowing you to bring your Tier VI–X ships and superships into battle.

• New Season of Ranked Battles: Season 19 begins this week with the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Leagues in a 6 vs. 6 format on Tiers VI and VII, VIII and IX, and X and superships, respectively.
  
• New Clan Battles Season: Codenamed "Asp," the new season of this competitive battle type will be played in a 7 vs. 7 format aboard Tier VIII battleships, destroyers, and cruisers.
  
• Expedition to the North Pole: The road to the New Year begins here! Leading up to December, complete special combat mission chains during each update, then collect rewards such as ships and Santa's Gift containers as you progress.
  
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Get ready to welcome new Commanders, totally rad permanent camouflages, Pizza Time Premium containers, and more themed content later in Update 13.8. Stay tuned for more information!
  
• System Requirements Update: We've updated the system requirements for World of Warships based on our latest performance tests to provide our players with the most optimal hardware configurations. Game client performance should not change for current users.

A brand-new Leaderboard event is kicking off in the Armory! Earn as much Base XP as possible in any single battle to compete for a spot in the top 100 players and earn great prizes. The top 10 scorers will take home Błyskawica herself!

During the event, you'll be able to easily track your progress using the Leaderboard in the Armory. It updates in real time, displaying your position, along with your best result so far.
