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.

[h2]Perilous Route: A New PvE Experience [/h2]

A new temporary battle type hits the Live Servers in Update 14.4! Inspired by the Convoy battle type from past updates, Perilous Route sees you and your team escort a damaged command ship across the map as it slowly repairs itself.

Along the way, the command ship will make two stops, where your team will receive randomized objectives to complete before continuing the journey.

Stay alert—along the way, you'll encounter hostile bot ships eager to hamper your progress! To aid in your fight against them, you'll have access to the Coordinated Fleet Support consumable, which restores a portion of all allied ships' HP when activated.

[h2]Dunkirk 1940: A Strategic Card Game Steeped in History[/h2]

As we near the anniversary of one of the most remarkable events of World War II—Operation Dynamo—we invite you to step into the shoes of a fleet commander, managing not just a single ship but an entire fleet of warships and civilian vessels in a new card game that will be available to play in World of Warships.

Advance through the event by completing key missions and fulfilling the operation's objectives. Each mission can be thought of as a puzzle that you need to solve using the available cards. Each card represents a ship under your command, while enemy cards represent different obstacles like aircraft or coastal artillery.

The activity offers rewards like Credits, Operation Dynamo containers, and British Premium destroyer Gallant (the final reward).

[h2]And More![/h2]

Take a moment to read more about what we have planned for Update 14.4 in our dedicated article. It has all the details on coming changes to Operations with Flagships, details on the Operation Dynamo Event Pass, and more:

[h2]Operation Ten-Go Event Pass[/h2]

On April 7, 1945, legendary Yamato was attacked and sunk by waves of American carrier-borne aircraft. This year, we're commemorating the fate of the largest battleship in history with a full-fledged 3-week Event Pass.

The first progression line offers the Final Voyage permanent camouflage for Yamato herself as the final reward, while the second progression line yields historical Commander Seiichi Itō with an individual voiceover, Premium cruiser (and Ten-Go companion!) Yahagi, and the Defender of the Pacific Ocean permanent camouflage for Essex.

[h2]Blücher at the Dockyard[/h2]

The gates to the Dockyard have swung back open, and historical German cruiser Blücher awaits you on the stocks, as well as Commonwealth cruiser Gambia as an intermediate reward!

The shipbuilding process comprises 20 phases, 18 of which can be progressed through by completing Dockyard combat missions, while the rest can be completed for Doubloons. Each phase can be finished for 2,000 Doubloons, and there are also Starter Packs of two and six phases available for 3,200 and 7,800 Doubloons, respectively.
