[h2]Smash Piñatas![/h2]


Set sail for the Colorful Islands map and get ready to collect some well-earned treats in the new Piñata Hunt battle type!

This festive April Fools' Day-inspired event sees two teams vying to smash an aptly decorated Piñata ship and collect valuable new support consumables that it drops. Upon its destruction, the Piñata will explode spectacularly and spawn a capturable shrinking control zone! Piñata Hunt is available until April 11.



During the event, you can obtain Piñata Tokens by completing combat missions, then exchange these Tokens for rewards in the Armory.

This is a short overview of the planned features for Update 13.3. For more information about the upcoming features and rewards for participating in the Public Test, visit the dedicated article on our website:

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]Wisconsin at the Dockyard[/h2]


Wisconsin is coming to the Dockyard! The construction process consists of 30 phases, 28 of which can be completed via combat mission groups. If you complete all the Dockyard missions, you'll only need to purchase two phases to get the new ship!

Completing phase 20 will award you with Tier VII Premium battleship West Virginia '44! If you already own her, you'll instead get three construction phases, potentially allowing you to earn Wisconsin for free!

[h2]Asymmetric Battles[/h2]


The fan-favorite PvE battle type is returning! Battles will be fought in a 5 vs. 12 format and feature Tier VI–X ships, including superships. While human players will be able to select any ship type, submarines won't be an option for the bot-controlled team.

For the player team, the maximum tier difference between ships will be limited to one, while bots will control ships up to two tiers lower.

[h2]Golden Week Event Pass[/h2]


The Event Pass for Update 13.3 is themed around Japan's Golden Week holidays.

The first progression line holds Asian Lantern and Golden Week permanent camouflages, a permanent economic package for a Tier VII ship, Golden Tokens, and more!

The second progression line holds the Japanese Lacquer permanent camouflage for Kongō, the Dawn Harmony permanent camouflage for Shimanto or Takahashi, a permanent economic package for a Tier VIII ship, new Japanese Commander Ashikaga Teru, and Doubloons.

[h2]Custom Destruction Animation[/h2]


We're testing a new concept in Update 13.3 – a permanent camouflage that adds a custom destruction animation to ships you destroy instead of the standard explosion.

You can get one of these camouflages for free during Update 13.3 and can purchase three additional ones for Credits.
