Round 2 Schedule[/h2] Starts: Sep 28, 06:30 PM CEST (UTC+2) Ends: Oct 3, 07:30 AM CEST (UTC+2)

During the 1st Round of the Public Test, we have noticed an increased amount of game crashes. We suspect that the root of the issue might be connected to the special camouflages that ships receive when selecting the Last Voyage of Transylvania, so we might have to disable these camouflages at some point during the 2nd round of the Public Test.

Captains, thank you for participating in the first round of the Public Test for Update 12.9! Your feedback helps us to improve the version and fix errors. Check out the changelog and join the second session of the Public Test!

• Fixed several textures in the Kure Port.
  
• Made various improvements to Last Voyage of Transylvania, including changes to bot itineraries, ship type modifiers, spawns of some ships and their HP.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused sounds from Last Voyage of Transylvania to play in other game types.
  
• Fixed an issue when submarines exceeded their maximum speed while switching between periscope and submerged states in Last Voyage of Transylvania.

[h2]Halloween[/h2]
Update 12.9 brings forth a new Halloween Operation from the eerie dusk! You can take part in the Last Chapter Operation and finally bring to an end the conflict between the Forces of Light and the Twilight fleet. This time, you need to escort Transylvania and protect her from enemy forces as she travels on her way to deliver a special explosive to destroy the Portal once and for all!

You can participate in Last Chapter playing your own Tier VIII–IX ships of all types. Their appearance will be changed with a themed black-and-gold camouflage with special visual effects. All ships will receive special modifiers to even out their performance in the Operation.

Additionally, your team's ships will receive extra buffs each time one of your teammates' ships is destroyed, giving you a chance to complete the operation even if your team suffers multiple ship losses.

[expand] [/expand]
As in previous Halloween events, the map is covered in Filth, and it gradually damages ships if they linger too long in it. Transylvania is surrounded by a safe zone that moves with the ship; however, her magic weakens over the course of the battle, causing the safe zone to become smaller until it reaches its minimum size.

[expand] [/expand]
[h2]Japanese Battleships in Early Access[/h2]
In Update 12.9 three new Japanese battleships—
, , and —will enter Early Access. To celebrate the occasion, Port Kure has been decorated.
During the Early Access period, Personal Challenges will again become available to all players.

The new Japanese battleships won't be available on the Public Test server.

[expand] [/expand]
[h2]Salvage for Victory[/h2]
During the event, you can use a combination of multiple in-game currencies to exchange them for points and fill a progress bar. Once you reach certain milestones, you can claim corresponding rewards. Some currencies may have limitations on the number of Points you can receive. Fill up the bar to 100% to receive the final reward!

[h2]Events[/h2]
Let's take a brief look at some of the upcoming events of Update 12.9. Full details will be published later in dedicated articles on our website.

[h2]Road to New Year[/h2]
We're starting the New Year celebrations early! Complete special mission chains to earn Arctic Tokens that can be used to purchase containers in the Armory—the container selection refreshes with each new update. Additionally, you will receive mystery rewards for completing some of these chains—more information about them will be revealed in the future.
