This is a short overview of Update 13.0. You can find more information in dedicated articles on our website. EUNAASIA
Early Access to U.S. Aircraft Carriers
Early Access to the upcoming U.S. aircraft carrier line begins in Update 13.0. The three ships being added are Independence, Yorktown, and Essex. In addition to these three historical vessels, camouflages for Yorktown and Essex, as well as a commemorative flag, are being added to mark the event.
U.S. Aircraft Carriers Event Pass
Update 13.0 delivers an event comprising 20 levels that you can progress through by completing a series of daily and weekly missions. Tier VI aircraft carrier Independence stands as the most prized reward in the first progression line. During this event, you'll have the option to unlock the second progression line for Doubloons. Much like the first progression line, this line also comprises a total of 20 levels, but where it stands out is in the rewards if offers: Tier VIII aircraft carrier Yorktown, a bonus package for Yorktown, Commander Statue of Liberty with 6 skill points and an individual voiceover, the Freedom permanent camouflage for Tier X Des Moines, and more!
American Tokens
You can exchange your American Tokens for Essex with a 10-skill-point Commander and Port slot, permanent camouflages for Yorktown and Essex, Wings of Freedom Premium containers, and Credits. Obtain them either via random bundles for Doubloons or by completing extra levels of the second progression line of the U.S. Aircraft Carriers Event Pass. Besides American Tokens, the random bundles also hold special and rare economic bonuses of all types, Coal, Free XP, Elite Commander XP, Credits, and American battleship Rhode Island, which can only be obtained via this route. The option to purchase the new battleship will become available in a future updates.
Sestri-Ponente Dockyard Continues
The construction of cruiser Michelangelo continues at the Sestri Ponente Dockyard in Update 13.0. During the first 3 weeks of the new update, players will be able to complete combat missions and advance through Dockyard construction phases to obtain the main reward—Michelangelo herself.
The construction process comprises 32 phases, 27 of which can be progressed through by completing Dockyard combat mission groups.
You can also complete shipbuilding phases by spending 1,750 Doubloons per phase and purchasing Starter Packs: 10 shipbuilding phases in exchange for 10,000 Doubloons and 5 shipbuilding phases in exchange for 6,000 Doubloons.
The Dockyard will remain in your Port until the release of Update 13.1.
Bounty Hunt Event
Update 13.0 also includes a new iteration of the Bounty Hunt event together with changes that were previously announced in Update 12.8. The Bounty Hunt event will be available in Random Battles, and when taking on the Bounty role, players need to helm Tier VI–X battleships, cruisers, or destroyers in battle. Both players with Bounty role and regular players will be able to earn Star Tokens, which they will be able to spend in the Star Emissaries Armory category. The main rewards are Bionic permanent camouflages for Des Moines, Buffalo, and Baltimore. Players will also be able to obtain Coal, common bonuses containers, and signals.
Star Emissaries
Besides the previously mentioned Bounty event and rewards, more goods can be found in the Star Emissaries Armory category! As part of the event, you can use Doubloons to buy random bundles that hold STAR Kitakaze, STAR Edinburgh, Commanders Andromeda and Triangulum with 10 skill points and individual voiceovers, expendable economic bonuses, and other valuable rewards. The main feature of these ships is their permanent camouflages, which dynamically change their appearance in the midst of battle depending on whether the ship is detected.
Ship Parameters Display in Battle
We've added a feature that enables players to see various ship parameters while in battle! Essentially, players will be able to click on opposing and allied ships in the Team window before or during a battle (press/hold the Tab key to access this window). A tooltip will appear providing information on the selected ship, such as hit points, armament ranges, movement speed, and possible consumables, among other parameters. This feature also allows players to hover their mouse over attributes such as shells, torpedoes, and consumables in-battle and check the data for those items, similar to the functionality in Port.
Armory
With the release of Update 13.0, Halford will become available in the Armory for 228,000 Coal. Halford is the first hybrid destroyer in our game, and the ship carries an attack aircraft tactical squadron equipped with the Engine Cooling consumable. The aircraft are armed with powerful Tiny Tim rockets with high damage and armor penetration characteristics.
Unique Upgrades
In Update 13.0, two ships will receive new unique upgrades: German Tier X destroyer Elbing and Dutch Tier X cruiser Gouden Leeuw are each getting a unique upgrade that can be mounted in Modification Slot 6.
Hololive Collaboration
Update 13.0 brings back the heroes of hololive production. Popular Japanese VTubers are ready to fill the ranks of Commanders and plunge into the heat of naval battles back-to-back with players! Welcome back the hololive commanders with individual voiceovers! Players can also obtain hololive production expendable camouflages and a memorable flag during the event.
But that's not all! Players can also complete combat missions to choose between Commander Fubuki Shirakami, with six skill points trained for I Hashidate , or Commander Moona Hoshinova, with six skill points trained for I Chengan as the final reward.

We continue to improve the game based on the feedback we receive from you. First, we would like to mention a few important changes that we consider significant. You can find all the other details included in this update below.
Case justifications and independent commission reviews!
As a judge, when making decisions in cases, it is your natural right to write the justification for your decision and explain the basis of the decision you give to people. Now, you will be able to write the reasoning related to the case when making a decision.
Additionally, by accessing the KJS on your office computer, you will find in the reports section an evaluation of the decisions you made in past cases, as well as the independent commission members' assessment of your decisions and performance. This assessment will be represented by a score. The accuracy of the decisions you made, the right to speak granted to parties in court, and many other different factors contribute to this score. Depending on the level of these scores, you may experience various effects within the game, including the Supreme Court.
Occupational information of the individuals involved in the case!
The profession of the person you are speaking to can be of great importance when making a decision in a case. This way, you can assess their knowledge on the subject they are talking about. Who knows, maybe this situation can convince you that the person is giving a false statement. This feature, present in the early versions of the game, is now active again.
Is that all? You can see other details included in this update in the list below.
- With the update we released in recent days, we improved the game's performance and reduced the usage of the graphics card. - You can now file a lawsuit for all posts on social media. - A new crime scene report has been added to the harbor scene. - The page system in the court case file has been activated. - We bid farewell to the New Year tree in the office, but if you received the snow globe gift before, this item will continue to stay with you.
Note: This update can work with your old save file. However, for a better gaming experience, we recommend starting a new game.
In addition to all of these, we have made a few minor bug fixes. If your issue persists or if you encounter a new error, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Your feedback is very important to us. It allows us to take the game to the next level.
You can join our official Discord server for announcements, updates, and special events.
For now, that's all from us, but we will definitely be in touch again soon!

Ready to dive into 2024's first week of development progress? We've been hard at work forging the next chapter of VoidBound, and we're excited to share the latest plans from our creative treasure chest 🗃️ First up, updates from the artist:
Continuing our work from December, the Tripteen Maps are undergoing radical transformations! Our original designs, though befitting of an underground setting, still felt a bit too clean for a zone that is supposed to be occupied by aimless destructive bots. So, we decided to tear down the old walls and started sketching a brand new layout, one that strikes the perfect balance between expansive exploration and aesthetically suitable adventure.
Enter: A preliminary sample showcasing the new layout with the unmaintained damage the facility suffered throughout the decades.
Overall, the concept of the map wings are in place, and now we're crafting the visual tapestry that will bring them to life. Think dilapidated floors, atmospherically dark ceilings in disrepair, and leaning walls with flickering lighting fixtures that whisper tales untold. And just like the captivating maps from the new intro, we plan on sprinkling interactable objects that add depth and discovery to every corner..- well at least to a few corners 😅
Onwards to the write-.. 😥
Our sincerest apologies for this section as we don't have anything of significance to report this time. The writer went off on a new year vacation in high spirits, only to return a bit worse for wear. Nothing worrying thankfully, but he will be doing some major catching up in the coming few days. Once again, Mea Culpa 🙇 Finally, some Code news:
While Tripteen continues to march towards its re-envisioned debut, we haven't lost sight of the bigger picture. In fact, the coding team has been diligently tinkering under the hood, focusing on areas that can truly elevate your gameplay experience.
Take for example, the weapon modification system. Remember those trusty sidearm mods and devastating rifle upgrades you've come to depend on? .. Anyone? Maybe? 😭 Well, we intend to remedy that by giving these accessories more bite by implementing changes to make upgrades impactful!
That means not just stat bumps, but adjusting foe skills as well, encouraging players to explore the modification system naturally. In the end, we feel that upgrades should feel exciting, meaningful, and like a game-changer in the heat of each unique battle 🌡️
And that is all for this one! Fret not though, this is just the first few chapters in our ongoing development saga! Stay tuned for more exciting updates in the weeks to come, as we refine mechanics, polish features, and make sure every aspect of VoidBound's newest patch is better than the original!
Keep your eyes peeled, spacers, because the journey's just getting started 👩🏼🚀
