The new ship Venezia in the Bureau and the Roman Empire’s return
With a new event that transports naval warfare from the 20th century to antiquity, players can experience an amazing voyage to the Roman Empire. A new theme for the event is designed to resemble the powerful empire, and it comes with a ton of themed objectives and content to unlock. Players that complete these tasks will be able to obtain Denarii, a unique event-related currency that can be used to purchase themed items, camouflages, an Italian battleship, and the gladiatrix Commander outfit. Additionally, players will have access to Francesco Ferruccio, a brand-new Italian Tier VI cruiser that can be found in random bundles.
Additionally, the renowned Italian heavy cruiser Venezia is mooring at the research bureau. Equipped with 15 eight-inch guns, robust armor, and rapid acceleration, Venezia is a formidable asset to any Italian naval force, ready for battle.
Lüshun, Tier VIII, awaits the Eastern Horizons campaign.
A brand-new “Eastern Horizons” campaign is launching this Legendary May update. This campaign, which spans four weeks and 80 milestones, awards players that support Admiralty with the Pan-Asian Tier VIII destroyer Lüshun. She can deliver a lot of firepower thanks to her rotating turrets and fast main battery reload speed. In addition, Lüshun is equipped with deepwater torpedoes, which have the special benefit of increased stealth, making them far harder to detect than standard torpedoes. A catch-up mechanism is activated on “Eastern Horizons” to aid in the acquisition of this destroyer.
Japanese light cruisers launch with full access and full steam.
The new series of Japanese light cruisers, rated Tier IV–VIII, has left Early Access and is now fully accessible in the Tech Tree. At the head of this squad is the formidable Tier VIII Takahashi, who can be purchased right now along with a unique permanent camouflage that can only be acquired by finishing a certain quest. These agile light cruisers, equipped with rotating torpedoes and rapid-firing guns, are ideal for use in experimental battle strategies.
Two new seasons of Brawl, each with its own distinct set of rules, and two new seasons of Ranked Battles round out May’s Legendary update. Fast-paced five-on-five action takes place in Ranked Battles seasons 54 and 55, with Tier VI in one season and Tier VII in the other. In Brawl, Season 17 calls for a Tier VII battleship with a deactivated main battery, while Season 18 increases the Tier VI cruisers’ primary stats.
Numerous improvements and bug fixes are also included in this update version. The complete patch notes are available HERE.
