AUSTIN, TX (January 8, 2025) – Wargaming, the publisher and developer of the leading naval battle MMO World of Warships, is starting the New Year with a bang.

There will be three flagships on the high seas, each with various skills and abilities that players will have to outmaneuver to overcome the odds.

Torpedo Master increases the torpedo reload speed for allies, however is susceptible to torpedo damage in return. Finally, Iron Fist delivers a speed buff to allies, while also arming them with special shells that have enhanced armour penetration. However, once Iron Fist is destroyed, it will damage all nearby vessels.

The first three weeks of the update will each see one of the three flagships scouring the waters for prey before the fourth week brings all three together for the ultimate challenge.

Dutch Cruisers Drop Anchor in Early Access

Dutch cruisers also enter Early Access on January 9 until March 6, bringing vessels with 128mm guns, improved high explosive shell penetration and armour piercing shell damage, Airstrike with long-range, and Engine Boost and fast-cooling Repair Party consumables to complete the package.
