Wargaming, the publisher and developer of the popular game World of Warships, is bringing season’s greetings to players in the first winter update for the console edition of the game, World of Warships: Legends.
With a fun, festive refresh, this update is packed with seasonal content including another classic five-week, 100-milestone campaign with two ships up for grabs at the end. In addition, players can open a Warships-style advent calendar spanning three weeks, and plenty of holiday content to be acquired through Winter Shards. To continue the season of giving, World of Warships: Legends also brings three seasons of Arena mode.
A frosty, festive frenzy
Legends is kicking off the most wonderful tide of the year with a sleigh full of content and activities for players to unwrap. Winter Shards, which can be acquired through several means including Windroses, Arena mode and purchasing bundles, can be used to unlock a variety of prizes from winter ships to Commander guises. Most coveted of these is Japanese Legendary cruiser Yoshino, with a bespoke holiday skin available alongside her.
Alongside this, three different Santa Crates and a revamped Winter Big Crate are making their way into the game, carrying with them a number of ships including another Japanese ship, Tier VII Premium destroyer Kirisame. Wrapping it all up with a shiny bow, Legends is also adding a special holiday port.
Double Impact Campaign
The Double Impact Campaign follows the classic Warships five-week, 100-milestone format, but this double-header has two powerful Tier VIII ships waiting at the end. Italian battleship Marco Polo and British Marlborough can be picked up for double trouble by players valiant enough to complete this campaign, taking advantage of Marco Polo’s fantastic agility, sturdy armour and whopping 16-inch guns. The Marlborough is also a choice prize waiting at the end, a speedy and determined ship that sports 16 14-inch guns. To pick up steam in the race to these beautiful battleships, those with Admiralty Backing can use special missions to secure additional renown points.
On the 21st day of Christmas
Across three weeks full of daily tasks with daily and weekly prizes, Legends brings players its own Warships-style advent calendar. Players who may miss a day can loop back, unlocking the Adventure calendar’s tasks, and subsequent prizes, with doubloons. Sitting at the end of three weeks is a calendar-exclusive Santa Commander guise which can be used on nearly any Commander!
Arena mode returns
Arena mode makes its way back into Legends’ waters for three more seasons, open to ships spanning Tier V-VII across them, excluding carriers and available for the for the first time for mobile version players. Alongside this the return of Arena mode sees the Arm Race mechanic become active, save for the HP restoration bonus, and prizes include December’s valuable Winter Shards, Crates, Steel and Commander Progression Items. To make the cold a bit more bearable, these seasons which kick off December 22, each get one extra day added to them.
This update also brings several bug fixes, upgrades and balance changes across the game.
