[h2]Asymmetric Battles[/h2]

This fan-favorite battle type is returning in Update 14.5! Asymmetric Battles pit 12 lower-tier bots against a 5-player team of higher-tier ships.



In these battles, five players take on twelve bots, with the following setup:

• You can play Tier VI–X ships and superships.
  
• Bot teams consist of ships that are two tiers lower than each tier in the players' team, with exclusion of submarines.
  

[h2]New Experimental Ships[/h2]

New Experimental Ships Protector, Hotaka, and Varese are entering the game—the second group of these ships, following Metz, Vyazma, and Oregon that dropped anchor in our game earlier this year.



These newcomers are built for close to medium-range brawls with strong secondary battery performance. As they lose HP, their secondary guns gain an improved rate of fire and range.

[h2]Summer Festival Event Pass[/h2]

In Update 14.5, get ready to dive into the spirit of the season with the Summer Festival Event Pass! Celebrate under the sun with exclusive new rewards that capture all the fun and energy of summer.

• In the first progression line, you’ll find rewards such as 3 days of Warships Premium Account, the "Boom!” enemy destruction effect, and Commander Marina Carmen Fernández with an individual voiceover.
  
• Unlocking the second progression line brings the Pin-Up Summer permanent camouflage, cruiser Duca d’Aosta, and a total of 150 Summer Tokens that can be used to progress through the dedicated event in the Armory.

[h2]Travel a Perilous Route![/h2]

A new temporary battle type titled Perilous Route has appeared in our waters! Inspired by the Convoy battles that you may remember from past updates, you'll be tasked with escorting a damaged command ship across the map to its destination.

But it's not as simple as that—along the way, the command ship will make stops for repairs, during which time, you and your team will be tasked with completing any one of several randomly-chosen sub-objectives. Once the command ship is fully operational, you'll face off against the bot team in a final standoff!

[h2]Get Started on the New Event Pass[/h2]

Update 14.4's Event Pass is themed around Operation Dynamo—commonly known as the Dunkirk evacuation.

• The first progression line offers rewards such as 5x Operation Dynamo containers, the Monochrome enemy destruction effect, the British Coastal permanent camouflage, 3 days of Warships Premium Account, and the Industrial permanent camouflage for Duncan (the final reward).
  
• The second progression line, which you can unlock with Doubloons, grants the Industrial permanent camouflage for Hawke, British cruiser London, and 3x Operation Dynamo Premium containers, among other rewards. The final reward of the line is the Industrial permanent camouflage for St. Vincent.

[h2]Azur Lane 7th Wave[/h2]

With Update 14.4, World of Warships welcomes back the warships of Azur Lane with their bright characters and brave Commanders for the Seventh Wave of our iconic collaboration!

This time, the prettiest fleet on the high seas is joined by four ships—AL Hindenburg, AL Kearsarge, AL Bismarck, and AL Gorizia—each with her own commemorative flag. The already impressive list of Commanders has been expanded with five newcomers with individual voiceovers. Four new themed permanent camouflages for Zara, Colorado, Scharnhorst, and Admiral Graf Spee, as well as the Azur Lane patch, have also been added!
