World of Warships: Legends on PC

World of Warships: Legends is sailing onto PC on May 4th 2026, available to players from 11:30 AM UTC, and bringing the same action-packed naval experience from consoles and mobile to Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox Game Pass. Players will be able to start fresh, or log in with an existing console or mobile account to continue their journey right where they left off with full cross-progression.

German destroyer ZH-1 comes to the Dockyard

Tier IX German destroyer ZH-1 has arrived in the Dockyard, ready to be built across 20 phases of construction. Based on the historic ship of the same name that served off the coast of France during the Second World War, ZH-1 comes equipped with multiple 120mm gun turrets, powerful airstrike capabilities, and versatile torpedoes, allowing her to devastate unsuspecting foes from both above and below.

Golden Week and Battle of the Coral Sea Event Passes

Update 15.3 also brings players double the fun with not one, but two standalone event passes filled with themed rewards across 15 levels. Players can unlock secondary progression paths via doubloons, as well as extra levels upon completion of both paths for additional rewards.

The Golden Week Event Pass includes themed permanent camouflages, Commander Masaru Tadamatsu, Japanese Tier VI Premium battleship Ise, a new Golden Tribute enemy destruction effect, and more. For the Battle of the Coral Sea Event Pass, players can look forward to notable historical Commanders that took part in the titular battle – Commanders Robert Dixon and Shigekazu Shimazaki – as well as American Tier VI premium destroyer Monaghan, a new permanent camouflage, and more across the progression lines.

World of Warships will also be available on the Xbox Game Pass starting April 9th. A combat mission chain offering several containers, 1000 doubloons and eco-bonuses will prepare the new captains to meet their foes on the virtual seas.

Azur Lane Returns to World of Warships alongside in-game improvements

Wave 8 of Azur Lane arrives in World of Warships, bringing more vibrant content to the high seas. Available from April 29 until June 17, players can dive into a wide array of new additions, including six iconic themed vessels, themed skins, new Commanders ready to take charge in battle, and commemorative flags for players to showcase their allegiance. Rounding out the update are a handful of other improvements and gameplay tweaks. Victory Points now show up in both the in-battle and post-battle interfaces, providing insight into player’s actions and their team contribution. Changes have also been implemented across the Domination game mode, the Mountain Range map, and Aircraft Carriers to improve the overall game experience.
