What's Hiding in the Update 13.11 Event Pass? We have prepared something special for you in Update 13.11, which will last six weeks. The story of Li Wei and Olaf Lundgren reaches its peak with two separate Event Pass chapters! Each chapter is dedicated to one of our protagonists and offers exclusive themed rewards, including new ships!
The long-awaited moment has arrived—it’s time to receive gifts from Santa, unwrap Festive Rewards, decorate the Christmas Tree, sculpt snow figures, and open Advent Calendar doors! These are all cherished traditions of the Christmas season, which has arrived in World of Warships with the first day of winter. Dive into the Wonders of the Arctic and experience the festive magic like never before!
Undecided yet which reward to take... Maybe Schlieffen?
New Year’s Gift: Claim Your Ship! The New Year’s Gift is the festive finale of the Expedition to the North Pole event. Throughout autumn, you’ve had the opportunity to complete event missions and earn Expedition Tokens. The number of Tokens you’ve accumulated will determine the size of your gift.
Finally decided on the Schlieffen. Need another Tier X Preussen before I can get the super battleship Hannover.
A project of a high-speed battleship with four main battery turrets and a displacement of 50,000 t. She was 30 m longer than her predecessor, making her the largest among the draft designs conceived by the Construction Office of the German Navy Headquarters in 1918. This project represents the largest and most heavily armed of all German battleships, extending up until the elaborations of the early 1940s relating to the H-class battleship.
Schlieffen was first introduced in Early Access in Update 0.10.9.
Received 2 Santa's Gift Premium Containers from the final Advent Calendar reward today. The final reward, unlocked on December 25, can be claimed until December 31. After that, the regular daily login calendar will resume on January 1. <Post #980> Took me 304 days to collect another 500 containers. Regular containers from daily XP earned are opened automatically once you reached a certain number. Around 300+ ? Only special containers can be collected unopened afterwards such as Supercontainers. Looking forward to opening mine on New Year's Day.
Happy New Year 2025! As we sail into the new year, the entire team behind World of Warships—developers, designers, engineers, and everyone involved—wants to take a moment to thank you for your unwavering support throughout the year. It has been an incredible journey, and your passion for naval combat has made it even more thrilling!
With each wave we conquer, we’re reminded of the dedication and teamwork that propels us forward, just like the mighty ships you command. As we continue to improve and expand the game, we look forward to many more adventures together on the high seas in the year ahead.
May the winds always be at your back and the seas ever in your favor. Here’s to new battles, epic victories, and unforgettable moments in 2025.
Since my last update, I managed to add another 35 containers to my collection for a total of 535. The Event chapter 2 is ending soon and I can add another 7 to the tally including Week 6 Twitch container drop. I'll wait for these before finally opening all the containers at once.
Final tally, 545 containers collected. I didn't spend any money except doubloons bought a long time ago for a few of the second line of progression of Event Pass that is worth purchasing.
Tried opening containers during each Public Test and discovered that the reward ships are not fixed but random. Too tired to open and document the rewards last night but will do so later. Opening soon!
Was a bit disappointed that I got only a single ship. It is what it is.

Update 14.0 introduces a new branch of Dutch light cruisers to Early Access! Ship Features
These cruisers are armed with 128 mm main battery guns, offering good range and ballistics for their size.
They are equipped with AP shells that can deal decent damage for their caliber, plus HE shells with great penetration but with low damage and chances of starting fire.
The line features the signature Dutch Airstrike, with a long range, rapid cooldown, and relatively short time for bombs to reach their target. However, the small squadron size will make it challenging to overcome enemy AA defenses.
Ships of the branch have strong AA defenses, good concealment, and access to Engine Boost and Repair Party with a fast cooldown to boost survivability.
A small HP pool and weak armor are among downsides of these ships.
The new Dutch cruiser Tech Tree branch will become available for all players to research with the release of Update 14.2.
10 days to go and I'm on target to finish the Event Pass for the Dutch Tier VIII Cruiser Jaarsveld tomorrow. Nothing valuable in the second line of progression so I won't be spending 2,500 Doubloons.

A look at the greatest naval battles of the 20th century through the lens of alternative history. History doesn't have a conditional tense. But that doesn't make it any less interesting to wonder "What if...?" In this new show, we imagine how famous naval battles might have developed under alternative circumstances.
Dogger Bank is a large sandbank in the North Sea about 100 kilometers off the coast of England. The sea depth here ranges from 15 to 36 meters. This area, rich in fish, became a battleground between the British and German Navies on January 24, 1915. Even though our reconstruction doesn't take a huge range of real-battle parameters into account, at the very least, it has allowed us to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the tactics employed by the British and Germans. • What if Von der Tann hadn't charted a course to her planned repairs 24 hours before the raid? • What if three sailors led by Corvette captain Hagedorn had opened the emergency flooding valves of the magazine on Seydlitz? • What if Admiral Hipper had continued his attempts to save Blücher, despite the threat of the entire division being overwhelmed? Find answers to these and other questions in our new video!
In this conflict, the British fleet under Admiral David Beatty confronted German cruisers led by Admiral Franz von Hipper. Although not decisive, the battle showcased the strategic capabilities and determination of both sides. Discover more historical details in the video above, but first, let's welcome the great admirals themselves!
In honor of the Battle of Dogger Bank anniversary, two new historical Commanders have been added to World of Warships: Admirals David Beatty and Franz von Hipper The Armory also features themed containers that can drop these Commanders, as well as Premium ships Tier V Battleship Agincourt, Tier VII Battleship Renown '44 and Tier VI Battleship Repulse.
Completing 3 missions in 10 days for 4 Battle of Dogger Bank Premium containers using Moltke, Derfflinger or Tiger Battleship sounds easy. May not get a ship but a 10 skill commander is nice.
No one keeps Tier IV ships because it is useless for missions. So it all depends on German Tier V Derfflinger or British Tier V Tiger Battleship.
Tier V British Battleship Tiger. Unfortunately I haven't researched it yet. Good tech tree line with torpedoes equipped battleships from Tier IV to Tier X.
I'll have to make do with the Tier V German Battleship Derfflinger. No torpedo equipped battleship on the tech-tree line till Tier VII to Tier X.

Looking forward to complete the First and Second Progression line of the Lunar New Year Event Pass. 2,500 Doubloons (MYR 44.77) for unlocking the second progression line rewards that includes a Tier VI Cruiser is reasonable.
Secrets of the Allied Defeat in the Battle of the Java Sea | World War II History
Dive into the events of February 27, 1942, when Allied naval forces clashed with the advancing Japanese fleet in a desperate attempt to stop their offensive. Learn more about the battle’s course, key moments, and its lasting impact.
Battle of the Java Sea: 83rd Anniversary 83 years ago, on February 27, 1942, the Battle of the Java Sea unfolded—one of the key naval clashes in the early months of the Pacific Campaign.
A combined Allied force under the command of Rear Admiral Karel Doorman attempted to halt the Japanese advance but suffered a heavy defeat. The battle resulted in Japanese naval supremacy in the region and the further occupation of the Dutch East Indies.
To commemorate this historic event, we’ve prepared special bundles in the Armory and Premium Shop. They feature Battle of Java Sea Premium containers; Admirals Karel Doorman and Takeo Takagi as historical Commanders; and four ships that took part in the battle: Tier IX Destroyer Minegumo, Tier VII Destroyer Jupiter '42, Tier VII Destroyer Yūdachi, Tier VI Cruiser Perth
The bundles are available until: Mar 6, 03:00 AM UTC+8
No way am I going to purchase the bundles for Java Sea Squadron (MYR 771.74) nor the Minegumo (MYR 288.40). However the Jupiter 42 bundle with a 10 skill points commander with a 70% discount coupon (MYR 40.62) is an attractive deal. It has been four years since I last spent money on this game so why not?

Valor at Samar: The Story of USS Johnston The Battle off Samar is an example of heroism in the face of overwhelming enemy superiority. Confronted with a massive Japanese fleet, USS Johnston, under the command of Ernest E. Evans, fought steadfastly and bravely. Despite the numerical and firepower superiority of the enemy, Johnston's crew, under Evans' decisive leadership, changed the course of the battle, displaying unmatched courage and strategic ingenuity.
Now that Commander Ernest E. Evans and USS Johnston in her battle-damaged form—"GQ Johnny"—have joined World of Warships, we've recreated the events of that battle in a special video!

World of Warships Update 14.8 is a significant update, primarily centered around the 10th Anniversary of World of Warships, an overarching event aptly named "A Decade at Sea". Key highlights of Update 14.8 include:
10th Anniversary Celebrations ("A Decade at Sea")
Battle Performance Bonuses return, allowing players to earn Festive Tokens. These tokens can be exchanged for valuable rewards, including the new Japanese heavy cruiser Kushiro (featuring good HE shells, torpedoes, and consumables like Exhaust Smoke Generator), Bonus Packages for Tier X ships, the "This Is Fine" enemy destruction effect, Supercontainers, and collection containers that grant unique Commanders.
Festive Tokens can be obtained mainly through Battle Performance Bonuses, which are earned cumulatively over several battles, and from a revamped daily reward calendar.
A Tenth Anniversary Gift container with a guaranteed drop of a Tier VI Premium ship is given to players who log in anytime during Update 14.8.
The Honorable Service program has been revamped, offering more attractive rewards based on account age; for instance, players with 5 years of service receive a Premium Ship VIII Elite container, while those with 10 years get a Special Ship X Elite Container.
A new Decade Dock Port has been introduced, featuring interactive elements, Easter eggs, and a journal commemorating the game's 10-year journey.
Tenth Anniversary merchandise, such as a plushy, a coin, and a vinyl record, will be available.
Super-long Twitch and YouTube Anniversary streams are planned with surprises and giveaways.
New Features and Event Continuations
The Update Navigator is a new Port feature that provides key information about the current update and a personalized "Your Battle Record," available until Update 14.11.
The Grand Voyage event continues, allowing players to earn Voyage Tokens for Doubloons and Steel, and progress towards a free GQ Johnny.
The "In the Name of Tomorrow" immersive World War II themed Operations, featuring the story of San Diego and Robert Adams, remains available for the first two weeks of Update 14.8.
A dedicated Tenth Anniversary Event Pass is available, packed with rewards. The first progression line offers the "A Decade at Sea" flag, the Blue Explosion enemy destruction effect, Commander Mikhail Orlov, and a Premium Ship VII container. Unlocking the second progression line with Doubloons immediately grants Commander Doktor von Roth, along with rewards like Blazing Ray and Cold Ray permanent camouflages, the new Tier VII cruiser Optio (based on Francesco Ferruccio), and another "This Is Fine" enemy destruction effect.
The Blast From the Past event runs from Update 14.8 through 14.9, focusing on surface ship gameplay that emulates older versions of World of Warships while retaining modern technical and quality-of-life improvements. This event is divided into six chapters, and crucially, battles will include Domination and standard game modes without submarines or aircraft carriers.
The Laffey Dockyard remains open, giving players more time to construct this historical destroyer.
Gameplay Updates and New Content
Asymmetric Battles are returning mid-September and will stay longer than ever, until Update 15.2 (five months), with a significantly expanded map pool.
Early Access to New German Cruisers is introduced, including Deutschland, Admiral Scheer, Knesebeck, Manteuffel, and Prinz Adalbert. These ships are designed as brawlers with large-caliber, accurate main battery guns (though with a short firing range), powerful secondaries supporting manual control, heavy armor, and an improved Hydroacoustic Search consumable. However, they are noted to be on the bigger side and not very maneuverable.
Gameplay improvements include changes to the module damage system.
Submarines will become available in Operations.
A new Clan Battles season, "Mahi-Mahi," is beginning.
A new ship rotation in the Armory and Premium Shop is coming in Update 14.9.
Ten years. I was there when this whole ocean was just a puddle, when the pixels were still sharp enough to cut you. Back then, we were just testing the engines. Now they're throwing a party for it, callin' it "A Decade at Sea". They're rollin' out the red carpet and talkin' about a "momentous occasion," thank'n the community and the folks behind the scenes. It was a nice speech. The kind you hear right before they ask for your wallet.
They laid the trap with practiced hands. They dangle shiny things in front of you, like that new Japanese cruiser, Kushiro. You can get it with Festive Tokens, they chirped. But I saw a poor soul on the Reddit forums, a captain with three years and over 100 ships in his fleet, who still couldn't afford its "exorbitant price tag". He's learnin'.
To sweeten the pot, they shove a "Tenth Anniversary Gift container" in your hand the second you step through the door, a guaranteed Tier VI Premium inside. For the old guard like me, the ones with a decade of service under their belts, they offer a "Special Ship X Elite Container". It’s their way of paying respect, they say. A way of reminding you how much time you've sunk into this place. It was all a perfect illusion, a shiny distraction while they set up the real play. That play was the Anniversary Event Pass.
It was a story told in two lines, one for the hopeful and one for the house. The first line was a slow drip of rewards to keep you grinding: a flag, some fancy explosion effects, and a Premium Ship VII container if you made it to the end of the line. It was just enough to make you look across the velvet rope. Because the second line, the one with the real loot... that one had a price tag written in Doubloons. The moment you pay the toll, they slide a "bonus reward" across the table; Commander Doktor von Roth. a friendly face for an unfriendly transaction. Then they show you what you really paid for: permanent camouflages and a whole new Tier VII cruiser, Optio. It’s the oldest con in the book. Show them the dream, then sell them the key.
They kept the distractions coming. A "Blast From the Past" event, letting you play in the good old days with no submarines or carriers allowed. They were selling me my own memories. They brought back Asymmetric Battles for five whole months to keep the crowds happy. And while everyone was looking at the fireworks, they wheeled out a new line of German cruisers in "Early Access," another term that's just a fancy word for a shakedown. If that wasn't enough, they're happy to sell you a real-world plushy or a vinyl record to commemorate the occasion.
Ten years. I’ve seen this tide come in before. They dress it up with a new Port, a journal of our "journey," and an "Update Navigator" to hold your hand. But the journey always ends in the same place: the store. This isn't a celebration. It's a business model, honed to perfection over a decade. They're not thanking us for our time; they're cashing it in. And the tide of doubloons, it only ever flows in one direction.
