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]“Remembrance of Ming's Past” Adventure[/h2]

The Seven Voyages of Zheng He are famous across China. Sent by the Ming dynasty to improve relations with foreign powers and bolster trade, Zheng He commanded huge fleets loaded with expensive gifts and trade goods to such far places as Hormuz in the Persian Gulf and Mogadishu in Africa. We are honoring this famous explorer in a new adventure that will run through Updates 14.1 and 14.2 and will provide many opportunities to earn your own World of Warships riches along the way!

During this adventure, completing missions will earn you the new "The Ming Legacy" flag and Zheng He's Voyages patch, as well as some Adventure Tokens that you can spend on various containers in the Armory. Alternatively, you can exchange them for Ming's Voyage Tokens that you can use to obtain thematic rewards: new IX Taihang
, the Chinese Treasure Ship permanent camouflage for her, and Commander Zheng He himself.

[h2]"The Finest Hour" Collection and a New Unique Dutch Commander[/h2]

Conrad Helfrich was a lieutenant admiral of the Royal Netherlands Navy and overall commander of the Dutch naval forces in Southeast Asia during World War II. In the first stages of the Pacific War, he was one of the most successful Allied commanders in that theater. We honor this military juggernaut with a special collection dedicated to his memory.

You can get collection elements from the "The Finest Hour" standard containers, which you can obtain in exchange for Adventure Tokens earned from adventure missions. It’s possible to earn enough Adventure Tokens to complete the collection in its entirety.

Note that you must make a choice to either get the unique Dutch Commander for Adventure Tokens or save them and spend on IX Taihang
after the Adventure ends. Tokens obtainable from missions and bundles for resources in the Armory can’t cover both rewards.

[h2]New Tech Tree Dutch Cruisers in Early Access[/h2]

Set sail at the helms of Jaarsveld; M. Van Coehoorn; and Utrecht in Early Access! Our new Dutch cruisers are armed with numerous 128 mm guns boasting impressive range, ballistics, and improved HE penetration. With devastating Airstrike, useful Engine Boost, and a rapid-cooling Repair Party, these mobile artillery and aerial assault platforms excel at long-range engagements. Just steer clear of close combat due to their lighter armor and smaller HP pools!
