Hindenburg Marathon Starts!
Attention, Captains! We're announcing a marathon for new German Legendary Tier cruiser Hindenburg! This long-term event will span three updates, starting with the upcoming one. More details can be found in the video and article below!
Progressing Through the Marathon
To advance in the marathon, you'll need to collect Ship Parts—a special currency obtainable through in-game activities such as the main campaign, missions, Calendar, and other challenges that require playing the game. You can also stock up on Ship Parts in the Store as a bonus when purchasing select content.
This marathon consists of three stages, each representing one update. Ship Part earnings accumulate across updates until the end of the third stage. To obtain Hindenburg, you must collect a total of 20,000 Ship Parts across all three stages. By the end of the marathon, you can receive up to 48,900 Ship Parts in total through various sources—far more than required to obtain the ship. So, even if you miss some activities, you can still catch up in the last stage. To check your progress, go to the Marathon section of the main menu—you can also enjoy beautiful views of Hindenburg there!
During the first stage, which runs from April 7 through May 19, you can receive up to 7,900 Ship Parts. Here's where you can find them:
- The Dragon's Voyage campaign: 1,500 Ship Parts without the Admiralty Backing and an additional 2,500 Ship Parts with the Admiralty Backing.
- Weekly Assignments: Up to 900 Ship Parts in total.
- Golden Week '25 crate and Golden Week bundles in the Store: Up to 3,000 Ship Parts in total as a free additional bonus to the new Golden Week content.
As for Ship Part earnings in the next updates, we'll reveal those closer to their release in dedicated publications.
Here's the total reward breakdown on your path to Hindenburg:
- 2,500 Ship Parts: 1x Golden Week '25 crate
- 5,000 Ship Parts: 1x Insignia
- 10,000 Ship Parts: 2x Commendations
- 12,500 Ship Parts: 5x Spring Big Crates
- 15,000 Ship Parts: 36x Hunter camouflages
- 17,000 Ship Parts: 10x Epic Global XP Boosters
- 20,000 Ship Parts: German Legendary Tier cruiser Hindenburg in a special skin
Please note: Since Ship Parts are always free (including bundles in the Store, where they are granted as a bonus), any unused Ship Parts will expire without compensation after the third stage of the marathon ends.
When Will I Unlock Hindenburg?
It's possible to finish the marathon and receive Hindenburg by mid to late July. To do this, complete various activities and the main campaign during three consecutive updates. However, if you want to be among the first to receive Hindenburg, you can finish the marathon earlier by completing as many activities as possible and increasing your supply of Ship Parts via the Store, where they are available as a bonus for purchasing certain items.
About Hindenburg
Hindenburg is a German heavy cruiser that embodies the best qualities of the German Tech Tree branch—reliability and versatility. This Legendary Tier cruiser delivers consistent damage with both HE and AP shells. Her HE shells offer good penetration, and despite average damage per minute, they can pierce even heavily armored targets.
With improved Sonar and excellent armor, Hindenburg effectively supports her allies in capturing objectives. When moving into close-quarters combat, you can also use her torpedoes to get the most out of her arsenal. However, her strong armor hides a disadvantage—low average speed and mediocre agility. That's why planning your actions in advance is crucial to staying safe.
The race is on! Only the most determined Captains will cross the finish line and claim Hindenburg—will you be one of them?
