World of Warships Anniversary!

With the release of Update 0.9.8, World of Warships begins its Fifth Anniversary celebration!

The festive Update is inspired by the history of shipbuilding and will bring many new features to the game: the revamped Designer's Table Port, the “Five Epochs of the Navy” permanent Campaign and collection of the same name, a new battle type, and fresh first-victory bonuses.


[h2]Anniversary[/h2] Starts: Thu. 03 Sep. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) Ends: Wed. 30 Sep. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

As we cross the threshold of our fifth year, we're marking the occasion by offering you an array of gifts and fresh in-game activities.

Join the celebrations by entering the updated Designer’s Table Port, which has changed a lot over the past year and become even more festive—we've added a cake, postcards, confetti, and ribbons creatively scattered on the table. The collection of ship models has also been updated with new representatives!



[h2]First-Victory Bonuses[/h2]
Be sure to take a careful look at your ship carousel. Ships with a first-victory bonus applied will be marked with a special symbol. During Update 0.9.8, players will be able to receive a festive bonus for their first victories playing specific ships in Random, Co-op, Ranked, and Asymmetric Battles, as well as in Operations.



[h3]List of Rewards[/h3]

• Tiers V–VII: 2x World of Warships Anniversary camouflages
  
• Tier VIII: 1x Gift container
  
• Tier IX: 2x Gift containers
  
• Tier X: 1x supercontainer

A Gift container holds five special signals of the same type (Dragon, Red Dragon, Wyvern, Ouroboros, Hydra, Basilisk, Scylla, or Leviathan).

You can receive the first-victory bonus for each ship only once during Update 0.9.8. The bonuses will also be applied to ships purchased, bought back, or dropped from containers during Update 0.9.8.

[h2]“Five Epochs of the Navy” Campaign[/h2]
The new permanent Campaign comprises 50 tasks grouped into five missions, each of which is dedicated to a specific shipbuilding epoch. To finish the Campaign, you'll need to complete tasks playing ships of various tiers: starting from Tier II–IV ships for the first mission, and progressing to Tiers VIII–X for the final mission. Most of the tasks must be completed playing certain ships related to the history of the navy. For example, some of the tasks of the first mission are inspired by the development of battleship building technologies and should be completed playing battleships of this era, such as III South Carolina, III Kawachi, IV Gangut, or III Dreadnought—all of which contributed to the adoption of the name given to this period of naval history.



However, you can complete the Campaign, collect all the containers of the new collection, and obtain the final reward by completing the first three tasks of each mission playing any ships of the relevant tiers.

The reward for completing the Campaign is an Epoch permanent camouflage, which can be mounted on any one Tier IX ship, except for IX AL Sov. Rossiya.


The first mission will become available with the release of Update 0.9.8, while those that follow will be unlocked each week.

Please note: you can complete tasks of each mission multiple times. This will allow you to continue earning Stars with each completion, but you'll receive the reward for completing the task for the first time only.

[h2]"Five Epochs of the Navy" Collection[/h2]
Update 0.9.8 ushers in the "Five Epochs of the Navy" collection, which comprises five sections with six elements in each. Each section is dedicated to a specific period in the naval history of the first half of the 20th century—from ships of the dreadnought era to those of World War II and the post-war years. Having completed the entire collection, you'll have learned about the construction history, design features, and fates of prominent representatives of each shipbuilding epoch.

The reward for completing each section is 1 day of Warships Premium Account. The reward for completing the entire collection is an Epoch permanent camouflage.

Elements of the collection can only be obtained from the containers of the same name. The exchange rate for duplicate elements is 1:1. To exchange duplicates, you need to select a vacant slot in a collection section and confirm that you want to exchange your duplicates for the missing item in the window that appears.

You can obtain 30 "Five Epochs of the Navy" containers by completing tasks of the same-name Campaign. You can also obtain containers for participating in the official World of Warships streams! To do so, activate bonus codes given during the streams and then complete special combat missions.

[h3]A "Five Epochs of the Navy" container includes:[/h3]

• One element of the "Five Epochs of the Navy" collection.
  
• 1x World of Warships Anniversary camouflage.
  
• One of the following items: 2x signals of the same type (Zulu, Papa Papa, Equal Speed Charlie London or India Bravo Terrathree); or 500 Free XP; or 50,000 credits.

[h2]Asymmetric Battles[/h2] Start: Wed. 02 Sep. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) End: Wed. 16 Sep. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

We invite you to take part in Asymmetric Battles—a new temporary battle type with teams of different sizes and tiers.

The new battle type is inspired by actual historical battles, which usually took place with an unequal number of ships on each side.

[h3]Asymmetric Battles Rules[/h3]

• A team of 5–7 Tier VII–VIII ships will fight against a team of 9–12 Tier V–VI ships in Domination mode. The types and numbers of ships are matched in such a way that the forces of both teams in battle are as equal as possible.
  
• Battles will be fought on the following maps: Ultimate Frontier, Naval Station Newport, and Killer Whale.

• To enter battle playing Tier VII–VIII ships, you'll need 500 Battle Tokens—a new temporary resource.
  
• The Tokens are earned in Asymmetric Battles, regardless of the battle results. However, you won't receive the Tokens if you are inactive in battle.
  
  • Tier V: 250 Tokens per battle
    
  • Tier VI: 150 Tokens per battle
    
  • Tier VII: 200 Tokens per battle
    
  • Tier VIII: 25 Tokens per battle
    
  • You'll receive 1,000 Tokens each day upon logging in to the game.
• If the waiting time spent by the first player in the queue exceeds 3 minutes, the teams in Asymmetric Battle can be complemented with bots.
  
• You cannot form Divisions in Asymmetric Battles.
  
• There will be no battle achievements in Asymmetric Battles.

Please note: Battle Tokens are only used to participate in Asymmetric Battles.

A special combat mission is available for Tier V–VI ships. Completing the mission will reward you with four Gift containers. You'll find the details in the game client.

[h2]Marathon with Gifts and a Festive Stream[/h2]
We invite you to watch the best episodes of the Naval Legends series and enjoy some gifts in the process!

Be on the lookout for bonus codes shown in each episode of the historical marathon. As with the in-game Daily Shipments, all gifts are revealed in advance! Each bonus code will unlock a chain of combat missions. Complete all of them to get four containers of the new "Five Epochs of the Navy" collection and 1,000,000 credits!

Want even more gifts? If we manage to get the indicated number of new subscribers by the time each video is published, the reward of credits will be replaced with Сoal. If we get the specified number of subscribers on all episodes, completing the combat missions will bring you 10,000 Coal in total!

The first episode goes live on September 7—be sure to watch it! We'll publish all the conditions of the cinemarathon and gifts in a dedicated article on September 5!
