News in the Port

Greetings, Captains!

Your diligent team of editors who write in-game news and prepare articles for your reading pleasure is reaching out to you! In cooperation with colleagues from other teams, we're responsible for creating all the materials that you see on our website—from historical photo collections to YouTube gameplay videos.

We work tirelessly to make it as comfortable as possible for you to navigate our publications and access the most important intel fast. Today, we want to tell you about some important changes regarding the news in our game.

The major new feature is the News tab in the Port! By clicking the icon, you'll be taken to an in-game version of our website. There, you'll find all the same materials that are published on the external website. If the button is highlighted in gold, a gift awaits you on the other side.

As you probably know, the release cycle of our articles is connected to that of our game updates. Each new update is followed by a large patch notes article in which we talk in detail about implemented changes, upcoming events, and available features. You can find that publication under the first tab—just click the button with an anchor image .

The contents of the article will be displayed on the right side of the screen. Click on the section you're most interested in, and you'll be immediately taken to the desired info.

The second tab is for recommended materials. To get to this tab, click the button with the five-pointed star . Our algorithms will make suitable recommendations for several publications based on your gaming experience and activity.

The third tab is for all news. By clicking the button depicting an open newspaper , you'll begin exploring our news feed. It holds all the fruits of our efforts and love for World of Warships.
We add a day of Warships Premium Account to all publications dedicated to the game updates! In other articles, you'll find combat missions and nice bonuses!

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.
