World of Warships Collaborates with World Museum Day
On May 18, Wargaming, the acclaimed developer and publisher of World of Warships, will host the highly anticipated annual The Longest Night of Museums livestream event. This celebration will delve into the evolution of iconic warships during World War II. A significant addition this year is the introduction of the Naval Museums Atlas, a brand new free exploration tool that rewards users for visiting historical museums. May is also packed with fresh content for players, including a new action-packed game mode, Dangerous Route, and an 85th-anniversary tribute to Operation Dynamo, alongside a strategic event and more surprises.
The Longest Night of Museums: A Quintennial Celebration
Set for May 18, this fifth annual event by World of Warships will spotlight various warship classes from World War II and their wartime evolution. The broadcast will feature museums worldwide, showcasing legendary ships such as the USS Intrepid, the USS Wisconsin, and the USS Cod, each narrating the transformation and adaptation of warship roles during the war.
To mark the fifth anniversary, the event will include a special collaboration with the popular YouTube channel, History Hit. Renowned historian Dan Snow will engage in a captivating debate against artificial intelligence, focusing on ship evolutions.
“At History Hit, we’ve long been admirers of World of Warships’ Longest Night of Museums,” said Dan Snow. “Having previously collaborated with World of Warships, we’re excited to highlight the museums dedicated to preserving the legacy of these iconic ships. Our passion for history aligns with the opportunities presented by events like The Longest Night of Museums, ensuring these stories are passed down to future generations.”
Introducing the Award-Winning Maritime Museums Atlas
A notable launch at this year’s event is the Maritime Museum Atlas, an innovative digital platform for gamers and history enthusiasts to explore maritime museums globally. Featuring an interactive map with eight maritime museums and historical institutions worldwide, the Atlas provides practical information to facilitate real-world visits and highlights institutions dedicated to preserving maritime heritage. As the database expands, World of Warships’ Captain’s Club members will enjoy special museum benefits and exclusive in-game bonus codes at participating venues.
World of Warships Commemorates Operation Dynamo and Introduces New Challenges
To honor the 85th anniversary of the Dunkirk evacuation, World of Warships introduces Operation Dynamo with a comprehensive Event Card. Players can unlock various rewards, including Boxes, the “Colorless” Enemy Destruction Effect, permanent camouflage, and more across two development lines.
A strategic event also debuts as a limited-time Port activity, where players, using cards representing the Tiny Ships of Dunkirk, will tackle challenges and opponents. Successful players will earn Operation Dynamo Boxes, a special “Bravery Against Fire Flag”, and a Tier VI British Gallant destroyer.
May brings new high-seas challenges with the limited-time game mode, Dangerous Route. In this mode, players escort a damaged Command Carrier through perilous waters, facing deadly enemy ships. The carrier requires two stops for repairs, and players must complete random assignments to continue their journey. Using any Tier VIII-IX ship, except submarines, players aim to ensure the carrier’s safe arrival.
The May update concludes with a cross-content feature as the popular side-scrolling naval combat game Azur Lane returns with 7 Waves, offering new content. As a grand finale, Soviet Submarines exit Early Access while construction of the Tier IX German Premium heavy cruiser Blücher 1939 progresses in the Shipyard. Additionally, players can engage in new Ranked Battles and Fights.
