World of Warships News

Please note that the servers will be temporarily unavailable due to the release of an update. The schedule is available below.

Maintenance times are tentative and subject to change. Please accept our apologies for any inconveniences.

The new update will go live some time after it's been downloaded because the client and server sides are updated separately. While the client begins to update immediately, it takes time for the servers to be updated across all regions.

If there are problems with downloading or launching the update—please perform files integrity check.

Subtitles can be enabled in the video player separately.

[h3]Baskets at the ready, Captains![/h3]
It’s time for a good old-fashioned Easter egg hunt, but this time, the eggs are Portal Chips and the rewards are great and abundant! Complete various repeatable in-game tasks to accumulate as many Portal Chips as you can and win guaranteed rewards, such as economic bonuses, Supercontainers, and a haul of Coal! We also have some random giveaways of Premium ships equipped with glorious permanent camouflages, so keep your ears to the ground!

Players with the most Portal Chips accumulated throughout the event will also win valuable physical prizes, including some shiny new gaming gear!

How to Participate[/h2]
To participate in this event, you need to open the article on our web portal (Europe, America, Asia) and click the “Participate” button, OR activate the bonus code STEAMINGTHROUGHEASTER (Europe, America, Asia).

Once you’ve done that, you can start earning Portal Chips by completing the repeatable challenges shown below.

Your goal is to accumulate enough Portal Chips to reach certain milestones (50, 100, 200, and 400 Portal Chips, respectively). After reaching each of these milestones, you will secure a guaranteed reward that will be credited to your account within the following few days.

Any Portal Chips you earn will be recorded in the counter at the top of this article. Please be aware that the counter won’t always update instantaneously and may take some time to catch up with your current balance.

You must be logged in for the counter to display your Portal Chip balance.

[h2]Sprints[/h2]
The event is divided into two Sprints. After the first Sprint ends, there will be a break in activity for a few days. During this time, two things will happen:

• You’ll receive the prizes you earned for the milestones reached during the first Sprint.
  
• Your Portal Chip counter will be reset to 0 in preparation for the second Sprint.

When Sprint 2 begins, you’ll be able to earn the prizes a second time by completing the same challenges and once again reaching the milestones indicated above. Prizes for the second Sprint will also be distributed within a few days of it ending.
Sprint 1 begins: Thu. 06 Apr. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) Sprint 1 ends: Tue. 11 Apr. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

Sprint 2 begins: Thu. 13 Apr. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2) Sprint 2 ends: Tue. 18 Apr. 07:00 CEST (UTC+2)

Random Giveaways[/h2]
Besides the guaranteed prizes for reaching milestones, all participants who earn at least 50 Portal Chips will be eligible to receive one of the following random rewards that will be given away in two draws—one after each Sprint:

Prize pools are duplicated for each server.

If you win a ship that you already own, you’ll be compensated in Credits.

[h2]Physical Prizes[/h2]
Additionally, all participants on the EU server who earn at least 50 Portal Chips at any point during the event will be eligible to win one of the following physical prizes:

Top Performance Prizes[/h2]
Top players on the EU server can also earn some guaranteed physical prizes! The goal here is to accumulate as many Portal Chips as possible throughout both Sprints of the event. The participant with the most Portal Chips will win the top prize—a Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card!
