The Return of Racing Legends

Racing comes to Legends for the second time, and it’s better than ever! With three week-long seasons with playoffs and leaderboards, there's plenty of time to enjoy the high-octane race to first place. Special racing boats, Commanders, consumables, and even torpedoes will make your enemies limp to the finish! Participating—and winning—will net you Racing Legends Tokens, which can be spent in the Store on a variety of content, including the new ship (destroyer Bulletproof), three Commander guises, and special crates. The races are on from March 20—expect a dedicated blog post with all the details closer to the start! Please note: Racing Legends mode is not available on mobile.

St. Patrick's Day 2023

The first spring update also includes a themed range for St. Patrick's Day! It features a new ship, Tier VII Celtic; the Cara McMordoff Commander guise; and the return of Pot of Gold crates. Brady McMordoff will also get a unique voiceover! More details will be revealed in a dedicated post before the content drops on March 13.

As usual, we'll take a closer look at these high-tier monsters in the coming days. Keep your eyes on our socials in the meantime!

Pan-Asian Cruisers Go Researchable

Ranked Battles Hit a New Milestone

Two Ranked battles seasons with high-tier ships await you, Captains! More details will be revealed in a special blog post before the start of season 39 on March 9, but we can tell you now that Season 40 will be the first time the mode sees Tier VIII ships—prepare in advance! 

Debut of Pan-America

Our first Pan-American ship, Atlântico, arrives as a Tier VII Premium battleship with powerful, accurate, and long-range secondaries plus AP-only main battery guns. This mighty monster is available in the Store starting March 6.

Schlieffen Bureau 

The longest-reaching secondaries in Legends and torpedoes aboard—that's Schlieffen! The Project that will deliver you this brand-new German Legendary battleship is available for credits or doubloons in the Store. 

Balance Changes

This update sees a revamp of French Commanders and buffs and nerfs to a handful of ships. Read our Ministry of Balance Report article to find out every little detail.

Bug Fixes

• Pobeda’s aircraft rating was changed from 13 to 39—the calculation previously didn’t include skip bombers.
• Rare cases where the ships of disconnected players continued to shoot ad infinitum.
• Ray traced lighting sometimes causing colors to distort, especially in brighter Ports like Nagasaki.
• Winrate badge in Service Record showed up erroneously, even before a player had fought 200 battles.
• Bretagne was missing a piece of armor in the armor viewer.
• Report abuse screen sometimes stuck after a report had been sent.
• Several battleship turrets checked for "holes" that allowed for their incapacitation by lower-caliber destroyer shells. This should no longer be the case.
• Friending and blocking actions sometimes didn’t work after having rejoined a game following a disconnect.
• On-deck equipment of sunken ships remained above the surface in rare cases.
• Graf Spee in the Azur Lane skin lacked a few armor components in the armor viewer.
• (mobile) Removed the dark overlay on the right side of the screen in the Premium ship upgrade menu.
• (mobile) Anchor—the "favorite" sign—was sometimes displayed over a ship's name.
• (mobile) "Back" button was sometimes drawn twice in the control preset menu.

Other

Added new SAP shell ship trait for Italian boats:

• Abruzzi
• Amalfi (instead of Broad Launch)
• Dante Alighieri B
• Duca D’Aosta
• Duca D’Aosta B
• Genova, Giussano, Montecuccoli, and Taranto (instead of Fast)
• Marco Polo (instead of Superior AP Damage)
• Trento and Zara (instead of Tough)

Maps changes

Weather on the New Dawn, Ring, and Trap maps was changed for better visibility during the battle. Tears of the Desert, Shatter, and Land of Fire now include new scenarios. 

National+ voiceover

Finally, the National+ voiceover mode is in the game! This means that you can now hear multiple unique Commanders on your team speaking in their authentic voices simultaneously—from various collaboration Commanders to national Commander voiceovers! If you prefer this kind of polyphony, go to your sound settings and choose the National+ mode! Please note: National+ Voiceover is not available on mobile.

Winter Shards converted to credits (1 shard = 1,500 credits)

Various UI improvements

This includes Bureau labels (Recommended, Advanced, and Special).

Spend the spring with Legends, race, celebrate, and turn the tide!
