World of Warships: Legends sees Star-Spangled content
Making a splash in this update are batches of American-themed content arriving to the console edition of the game. Just in time for Independence Day, a classic five-week, 100-milestone “Always Courageous” campaign emerges. Waiting at the end of this campaign is all-new Tier VIII cruiser Tulsa as the final prize. Even more ships also make their way to Legends’ harbours, as the impressive Tier VIII cruiser Salem makes her way to the Forge. Ready to lead these ships into battle is a special Lady Liberty Commander guise, equipped with a unique voice over.
The patriotic festivities don’t stop there, as this update brings plenty of random bundles. Waiting in these bundles is the completely new Premium cruiser San Diego, equipped with semi-armour piercing shells, and a special “Stars & Stripes” camouflage available for high-tier U.S. ships.
Fleets have also made their way to the game, as players can join and create their own and appoint their own commander and deputies. More options include various enhancements and bonuses for all Fleet members with an ability to acquire crates, both through the new Fleet-specific resource, Oil.
This update also sees Legends welcome a special collaboration with Popeye! Popeye the Sailor Man and Bluto the Terrible join the game as Commander guises, alongside their flags, a patch and a special spinach-themed skin.

Independence Day festivities continue in the PC version of the game, as players can earn special themed tokens through in-game events and activities. These tokens can be used to redeem plenty of themed permanent camouflages, as well as a Statue of Liberty Commander with six skill points. Players can then head from the U.S. to Europe, with the “Conquest of the Mediterranean” adventure to celebrate the new line of European Destroyers. Navigating through special combat missions the Tier IX destroyer Jäger is waiting at the end as a handsome reward with both a permanent camouflage for this ship, as well as a special Commander Felix von Paar.
On top of all these additions, July’s World of Warships update launched an all-new Battle Pass with players. With daily and weekly rewards to unlock, players can earn their way to a final reward with seven containers full of rare bonuses, as well as a Commander that boasts 12 skill points.

About Popeye
Sailor. Tough guy. Hero. Legend. That’s Popeye. He’s an underdog with bulging forearms, a mean uppercut and a love of canned spinach; he is unassuming, unsophisticated and undeterred by a challenge. From the minute he walked into the comic strip “Thimble Theatre” and muttered his famous “Ja think I’m a cowboy?” line, Popeye the Sailor Man captured the hearts of millions of fans around the globe. As the star of his own comics strips and animated content on the big screen and small, Popeye became quickly ingrained in American culture and today remains one of the most recognizable pop culture icons in the world.
