The long-anticipated New Year update is next in line for World of Warships. Get ready for a holly jolly dose of festive content and some extraordinary gifts and freebies coming in late November!
Here's a quick breakdown of some of the most notable new content coming in 14.11:
- Free Ship on Log-In: When logging in for the first time during December, you'll be greeted with a choice of a free Tier IX ship: Lepanto, Izumo, Riga, Sejong, or Fletcher; as well as 2x Santa's Gift containers and a couple of new permanent camouflages.
- Holiday Celebrations at Nordlyshavn Port: The festive Nordlyshavn Port is back, beautifully refreshed based on player feedback! The Christmas Tree will also return with 24 new ornaments of four types to place on it. You'll earn one ornament every two battles, with no daily limits! And it's not just for the cozy aesthetic—obtaining all 24 ornaments and decorating the Port will bring you lots of rewards, including 2x Santa's Gift containers!
- Snowflakes: A.K.A. Festive Rewards, these bonuses are available for every Tier V and higher ship in your Port. You just need to cumulatively earn a set amount of Base XP while playing each of them. The mechanics work similarly to in our 10th Anniversary update, with Coal rewards for Tier V–IX ships, Steel for Superships, and Festive Certificates for Tier X ships, which can be exchanged for Santa's Gift containers in the Armory.
- Two-Part Event Pass: Set sail with Stig Lundgren and his mischievous feline companion as you explore a special two-part holiday Event Pass. Highlights include two new ships for the claiming: Nürnberg '44 and Lanzhou! You can also find two unassigned Commanders who you can attach to any nation you choose.
- Dockyard – Roussillon: Construction of a mighty French Tier IX battleship begins in Update 14.11! Advance through all the shipbuilding phases to get Roussillon while picking up cruiser Montcalm as an intermediary reward.
