Wargaming, publisher and developer of World of Warships, has released the full details of its December update, celebrating the holiday season and five years of the world’s most popular naval MMO on Steam.
Players can ring in the new year with a fresh shipment of free content and goodies, and a new ‘Carol Clash’ event which sees two teams of Santa Clauses from the North and South Poles compete to deliver gifts at speed. To wrap things up, there is an all-new Battle Pass including boatloads of free and premium rewards, and Early Access to Japanese Light Cruisers continues.
Take on Santa in Carol Clash
The headline addition in the December update is the new temporary event ‘Carol Clash’. This will see players form two teams of Santa Clauses from the North and South Poles clashing in a gift delivery race. Players will need to choose between the North and South Pole teams, that will provide different rewards upon completion. The fastest team of ‘Santas’ will win one of two themed Commanders and one of two permanent camouflages for the tier X destroyer Holland or tier X battleship Conqueror.
‘Tis The Season of Giving
Players won’t just be delivering gifts in this update; they will also be receiving them by the boatload! Players will be able to earn Coal, Steel, Research Points and New Year’s Certificates through playing with ships Tier V and higher. A New Year Certificate is a temporary resource that can be exchanged for 375,000 Credits or any of the three types of Santa’s Gift containers.
The free content doesn’t stop there, as World of Warships launch their New Year’s Battle Pass, with a free track full of Containers, credits, different boosts, resources and more! Players can also boost their Battle Pass with doubloons, to earn even more rewards through the premium track.
Return of the Hamburg Dockyard
The Hamburg Dockyard return for World of Warships’ shipwrights to take on their next task: building the Tier IX Admiral Schröder. Once built, this cruiser is armed with as many as eight 305 mm guns placed in four main battery turrets. She is well suited for combat at medium and short ranges due to her quite solid durability and decent armour protection for the class.
Players will need to work through 30 phases of building, completing combat missions or spending doubloons to progress. Along the way, players can also earn for free the Tier VII battleship Renown ’44, a new port slot and a 6-skill commander.
Five dollars for five years!
Finally, there has never been a better time for new players to join the World of Warships armada on Steam. The leading MMO is offering an even easier method for new players a $5 USD Steam Wallet credit. New players who complete the “Amateur” achievement by winning 10 random battles before December 17, will see this credit added to their Steam Wallet within a week of completing the challenge.
