With Update 14.7 now out, Update 14.8 is next in line! And 14.8 is not just any old update—it'll play host to our game's 10th Anniversary megacelebration, complete with fun activities, new ships, and lots and lots of gifts!



Here's a quick breakdown of some of the most notable new content coming in 14.8:

• A Decade at Sea: We've got a whole host of activities and rewards ready to go for our 10th Anniversary celebration, including Battle Performance Bonuses that can net you rewards like Tier X Japanese cruiser Kushiro; a new Port and personalized battle record to honor the game's history and the mark you left in it; and expanded log-in rewards.
  
  
• Blast From the Past: A new temporary battle type available for all in 14.8 goes out to our most hardened veterans. This nostalgic experience unfolds over six chapters, each representing different epochs in our game's history with the appropriate ship restrictions. In addition to this, the return of Asymmetric Battles will round off the battle types introduced in this update.
  
  
• New German cruisers in Early Access: Cruisers Deutschland, Admiral Scheer, Knesebeck, Manteuffel, and Prinz Adalbert are entering Early Access! Built for close-quarters combat, these ships stand out for their ability to manually control their secondary batteries.

[h2]In the Name of Tomorrow[/h2]


80 years ago this month, World War II came to an end. We're commemorating it with an update-long event where you can follow a narrative-driven campaign about a U.S. naval officer who experiences the war from its sudden beginning to its hard-won end.

Take part in weekly Operations inspired by chronologically unfolding events of the war, and earn Stars to progress through the story's stages. You can earn up to 70 Victory Tokens—enough to purchase up to seven of the new War Is Over containers, which can drop historical Premium ships like new Barfleur, Arkhangelsk, and Royal Sovereign.

Completing all the campaign stages will bring you cruiser San Diego herself as the final reward. This historically celebrated vessel was the first Allied ship to enter Tokyo Bay after the end of hostilities.

Update 14.7 marks the beginning of the massive Grand Voyage event in World of Warships! Join us for a multi-update celebration that will allow you to earn destroyer GQ Johnny and up to 32,000 Voyage Tokens that can be exchanged for Doubloons or Steel at a 1:1 rate.

The event starts with three different activities:

• Welcome Bonus: Just log in to activate a special series of missions that simply require you to fight one battle per day to earn 350 Voyage Tokens each day. The mission can be completed up to 24 times, and you'll earn a bonus reward of 1,600 Voyage Tokens for doing that!
  
• Daily Reward: A battle a day will earn you 150 Voyage Tokens, and the more days you play, the more rewards you'll get—up to a total of 22,000 Voyage Tokens just for fighting a single battle daily until the event ends.
  
• Free GQ Johnny: Fight three battles per day to get 1 GQ Johnny Token, and then fight two more battles on that day to get another Token. Fill the event progress bar with 180 GQ Johnny Tokens, and you'll obtain the ship herself!
