• Players on PC can look forward to high octane attack-and-defense gameplay across two unique Operations and take advantage of a lineup of new ships for Black Friday to expand their armadas.
• On console, fans can also enjoy Black Friday offers, a new campaign, as well as new French alternate destroyers featuring accelerating, incendiary torpedoes.

October 31^th, 2025 – Wargaming, the developer and publisher of the leading historically accurate naval multiplayer game World of Warships, is setting out to sea with two jam-packed updates for players across PC, console and mobile. Headlining additions for PC, players can dive into a brand new, limited-time Temporal Rift event, brimming with dynamic gameplay and advanced warship technology, alongside plenty of Black Friday additions including a new fleet of ships and a two-pronged Event Pass. Meanwhile, for players on console and mobile, World of Warships: Legends introduces French alternate destroyers with new incendiary torpedoes that pick-up speed as they travel, Black Friday offers and ship variants, and the new four-week long Phantom of Sherwood campaign.

World of Warships brings a fractured timeline into the fray with Temporal Rift Event

Leading the latest World of Warships update is the addition of a Temporal Rift event, available until 11 December. Offering two new battle types–Shattered Time and Rift Watch–players will form teams of nine to battle against waves of bots on a massive map. To make gameplay more explosive than ever before, players will choose from a tailored selection of rental ships, equipped with evolving upgrades chosen by the player to reflect his favourite playstyle, a respawn mechanic, and Heavy Explosive shells and missiles to provide further fire power.

In Shattered Time, players will be challenged to push through enemy defenses and capture fortified bases, while Rift Watch sees the inverse as teams must defend their base and keep attackers at bay. Across the update, the battle types will be available sequentially, for two weeks each, before both go into rotation in the next update.

Black Friday also returns to Warships, bringing a new Event Pass, missions, the return of fan-favourite ships, and a new fleet: the tier X American cruiser and battleship Puerto Rico B and Rhode Island B, the tier IX Soviet destroyer Neustrashimy B, the tier IX Pan-European battleship Karl XIV Johan B and the tier VIII German cruiser Schill B. Available until 27 November, the Event Pass offers two themed progression lines packed with rewards, including up to two Commanders, 18 Containers and three Premium Containers. Black Friday combat missions have also arrived, with a new Black Friday Squadron feature that helps players track their missions’ eligibility based on pairs of original and Black Friday ships.

Finally, construction of Lüshun B in the Dockyard continues, alongside Liberty Harbor that gives out tier VIII cruiser Bridgeport, and the continuation of daily rewards from the ongoing 10th Anniversary: Grand Voyage event.

World of Warships: Legends sails into Black Friday with new ships and French alternate destroyers

Black Friday makes waves in the November update for World of Warships: Legends, introducing new black versions of Sims, Alabama, München, Graf Zeppelin, and Brisbane obtainable through new Black Friday ‘25 crates. The themed mission, campaign, and Brawl each give one free crate, though players can also obtain ships via the store, which will have special weekly offers and black ship bundles throughout the month.

New French Destroyers also set sail into Early Access in this month’s update, introducing new mechanics to the battlefield. Each ship in the line features special incendiary torpedoes that gain speed with distance, and have a higher chance to set on fire the further they travel. Ships can be found in special Early Access crates, several of which are obtainable from the new Phantom of Sherwood campaign, and each ship comes with its own personal mission, available until January 19, that rewards doubloons.

The Phantom of Sherwood campaign is here for four weeks, with eighty milestones to complete and rewards to obtain, including British Tier VII Premium cruiser Nottingham. Players can also collect ship parts in the second stage of the free marathon “Road to New Year” to receive Pan-European Tier VI Premium battleship Lugdunum in the unique icy skin, available from December 1 once the Christmas update launches.
