New ships and submarines set sail in the March updates for World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends

March 6, 2025 - Wargaming, the developer and publisher of the leading cross-platform naval multiplayer game World of Warships, is sailing into March with two jam-packed updates. The first, for World of Warships on PC, has players looking forward to new Experimental ships, the return of the Operations with Flagships battle type, and Soviet Submarines plunging into Early Access. For players favouring console and mobile, World of Warships: Legends is welcoming the arrival of new Dutch Cruisers to Early Access, the return of Azur Lane for its sixth wave of content, and a sequel to last year’s Rust’n’Rumble event.

New challenges await on the high seas of World of Warships

From March 5, players eager to take the helm of new vessels will be able to get hands-on with three new Experimental Ships, including Tier VIII French heavy cruiser Metz, Tier IX Soviet cruiser Vyazma, and Tier X American battleship Oregon. Designed for veteran players, each ship begins battles with a fraction of its hit point pool that slowly recovers during combat. Those brave enough to command these vessels can take on a special mission chain to earn Coal for their hard-earned efforts.

This update also sees the return of Operations with Flagships. To keep things fresh, players will see new changes to the formula, as Flagships set a course for destruction on the high seas. With increased health and the ability to buff the ships they are leading into battle, each fight will become more diverse as randomised Flagships, each with various effects and vulnerabilities, seek out players to destroy. This time around, players will be able to increase their odds of survival by using Classified Documents to boost their ship's battle capabilities.

New Dutch Cruisers and events drop anchor into World of Warships: Legends

Console and mobile players on World of Warships: Legends will have to brace for a tidal wave of content that brings new ships, crossovers, and wacky game modes. The March update starts with the arrival of new Dutch Cruisers in Early Access, with ships spanning Tiers I-VIII and Legendary Tier, alongside a new Commander, Henk Pröpper. Players can acquire these ships via special Dutch Cruiser Crates, in the Store and Tech Tree, and by spending Guldens, a limited-time in-game currency. A Dutch Legacy Calendar event also brings new daily and weekly rewards, with the ultimate prize being the Dutch Commander, Johan Furstner, perfect for the new cruisers.

Azur Lane returns with Wave 6, bringing the popular naval warfare game to World of Warships: Legends. From March 3 until April 7, players can expand their armada with five new ships such as the AL Richelieu and the AL Asashio, and Commanders based on the hit mobile game. New flags, Containers, and a mission chain have also been added - with camouflages and a special Crate up for grabs as rewards.

To conclude the March update, World of Warships: Legends is bringing the Rust’n’Rumble II event into action. This return features a brand-new battle experience, complete with unique weapons and mechanics for players to enjoy. A host of new content will also be arriving alongside the mode, with more details coming closer to its launch.
