Ten Years of Naval Combat - A Voyage Through Time in "Remember is to Live

World of Warships is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a packed September update, delivering free rewards, new content, and exciting game modes for all players. This milestone release features early access to German cruisers, a new game mode called "Remember is to Live," a redesigned port, and fresh seasons for clan and ranked battles. Over the past decade, World of Warships has significantly expanded its global player base, now offering more than 800 historically accurate ships for battle and logging over 1.2 billion hours played. Beyond the game, the community has supported charities like Save the Children and Help for Heroes, raising over 240,000 through initiatives such as the "Long Night of Museums," an annual live broadcast focused on naval museums worldwide. "Remember is to Live" Mode Players can jump into the "Remember is to Live" mode for a thrilling journey through time. This mode recreates the original World of Warships experience from its launch ten years ago by excluding aircraft carriers and submarines. Structured across six chapters, each phase limits available ships, maps, and gameplay to those from the represented era. The final chapter brings all elements together, complete with new challenges. Nostalgic Port and Update Navigator

Nostalgic Dockyard and German Cruisers Debut in World of Warships' 10th-Anniversary Update

The September update also introduces a nostalgic 2010s-style dockyard, filled with Easter eggs from the past decade. This new port includes a diary chronicling World of Warships' history. Additionally, an "Update Navigator" in the port helps players stay informed on recent news and features, offering a customized battle log detailing their statistics by battles and playtime. German Cruisers in Early Access The 10th-Anniversary Update offers early access to new German heavy cruisers: the Level VIII Deutschland, Level VII Admiral Scheer, Level IX Knesebeck, and Level X Manteuffel and Prinz Adalbert. To mark their arrival, these ships receive three permanent camouflages. These German cruisers excel in close-quarters combat, boasting powerful primary battery guns that deal significant damage. While optimized for tight engagements, their upgraded secondary batteries can be actively controlled to compensate for their shorter main battery range. True to German ship design, they also feature enhanced hydroacoustic search and high defense, making them formidable adversaries at sea. Anniversary Rewards and Bonuses Throughout September, players can earn a wealth of free ships, bonuses, and containers. Daily logins provide rewards via a special login calendar, including Super Containers, Coal, Credits, Free XP, Premium Account days, and Festive Tokens.

Commemorative Rewards and Update Features in World of Warships' 10th-Anniversary Celebration

Players can exchange tokens earned through performance battles at the Arsenal for up to 130 Super Containers. These containers may hold unique camouflages such as "The Best Time," "Determined and Quick," "The Era of Zhenbing," or "Battle of the Homeland Step," along with various ships like the Kushiro, a premium Japanese heavy cruiser (Level X). The celebration continues with additional free containers, each offering different vessels. A special 10th-anniversary gift container promises a Level VI ship, and the 10th-Anniversary Event Pass offers a Premium Ship Container VII. Loyal players can also acquire exclusive rewards: a Premium VIII Ship Elite for those who have played World of Warships for over five years and participated in 25 battles, and a Premium X Ship Elite for players who have sailed the seas for a full decade. Further Update Features The September update also continues the "For Tomorrow" campaign, reintroducing asymmetric battles, implementing a new module damage formula, and adding submarine operations to missions. Players can also look forward to new seasons for clan and ranked battles, rounding out a comprehensive anniversary celebration.
