Halloween Update: Misty Voyage

Ahoy, Captains! The spooky season is upon us, and so is our Halloween update! Brace yourself for bone-chilling battles and eerie rewards, along with familiar activities like a traditional campaign, the Bureau, and much more.

Here's a brief breakdown of all the treats we've prepared:

The Last Sumner Campaign

Similar to the previous update, "The Last Sumner" campaign will be slightly shorter than usual, comprising 4 weeks and 80 milestones, with the option to catch up on missed challenges.

During this update, you'll also be able to complete campaign tasks in the Halloween mode besides the Standard, Arcade, and Versus AI modes. Also, don't miss the chance to receive a spooky skin for Laffey by playing the Halloween mode!

As implied by the campaign's name, Laffey is the last surviving ship of the Allen M. Sumner class and now serves as a museum ship, living up to her nickname, "The Ship That Would Not Die."
