[h2]Clan Battles Season 25 Begins![/h2]


The new Clan Battles season kicking off with Update 13.4 is going to be a bit shorter than what you might be used to, as it's playing host to an experimental mechanic—support consumables!

We heard some feedback that players want Clan Battles to feel a bit more fresh and exciting, so we're trialing the use of some of the support consumables that may be familiar to you if you played our "Piñata Hunt" April Fools' battle type.

Format:
  • 7 vs. 7
  • Tier X ships
  • No submarines or aircraft carriers permitted; maximum of two battleships per team
  • Gaming sessions available on: Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday

Update 13.4: D-day Anniversary

This is a short overview of the content in Update 13.4. You'll find more information in a dedicated article on our website.


EU NA ASIA

[h2]D-Day[/h2]


In honor of this incredible military operation, three new Operations are coming to World of Warships in a new event battle type!

Starts: May 30

The first Operation will be available in Update 13.4, while the second and third Operations will become available in Update 13.5. Each Operation will last for 2 weeks, feature Tier V–VII ships, and accommodate up to 6 players in a Division.



In the first Operation, you'll take command of the Allied vanguard spearheading the landings on Utah Beach. You'll have to fight through enemy naval forces and suppress coastal defenses to ensure the safe arrival of your landing craft.




[h3]Classified Documents[/h3]


As part of the Operations commemorating D-Day, we're introducing a special event mechanic called "Classified Documents." These provide bonuses against specific enemy types, and they come in three different levels: Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret, with each level providing additional bonuses.

[h2]Azur Lane Wave 6[/h2]


World of Warships and Azur Lane are joining forces once again! Update 13.4 will welcome the Sixth Wave of our collaboration! This time, the already impressive list of Azur Lane Commanders will be joined by five newcomers with individual voiceovers: Shimakaze, Ägir, Hornet, Queen Elizabeth, and Fusō; moreover, three new ships will be added to the game—AL Shimakaze, AL Ägir, and AL Hornet, as well as commemorative flags for the new ships.

[h3]Azur Lane Event Pass[/h3]


But that's not all! Update 13.4 brings a new thematic Event Pass that features new content from the Azur Lane collaboration!

"Among the special rewards of the first progression line, you'll be able to obtain Azur Lane containers, an Azur Lane permanent camouflage for
Queen Elizabeth, plus Commander Queen Elizabeth with an individual voiceover and 10 skill points."
